You’re thinking about preventing certain keywords from being used in accounts, which I can’t do. However, because of the way IP addresses, especially dynamic IP addresses & subnet masks work, I can block a range of potential IP addresses originating from an area.

This is usually quite drastic, & I’ve been on the receiving end of 4chan’s sloppy Range Bans. Most of the time they block way more people than the person targeted, and even then a determined person can get around them with certain services, so it’s not really worth it.
