Ask HN: Reserving usernames

5 pointsby transitorykrisabout 8 years ago
I am working on a project that requires people to select a username. For technical reasons, the usernames are for life, and can never be reclaimed.<p>A reasonable list of names to reserve (root, login, signup, etc) is here https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;zimbatm&#x2F;hostnames-and-usernames-to-reserve<p>Do you ever reserve usernames in your products? If so, what is your strategy, and why? If not, why not?
