Blacklisting new account names
We have figured out a few username patterns that spambots like to use, we will be blocking these usernames that match these regex patterns in the near-future, use Jinbobo's Blocked username list to test the following regex, by default, patterns are case insensitive:
 * Usernames with 4 or more consecutive consonants (Easy fix for real users is to add a space between words?)
 * Pattern:
 * Usernames with 3 or more consecutive capital letters (Case sensitive)
 * Pattern:
 * Usernames with 2 or more consecutive capital letters at the end (Case sensitive)
 * Pattern:
 * Usernames with 2 or more consecutive numbers
 * Pattern:
 * Usernames containing the following words: car, limo, home, house, service, move, moving, guide, clean.
 * Pattern:
 * Usernames with 20+ letters.
