I know what you mean, but that is nothing to do with bans. If the username is banned then the person registering it should be banned.

So the easiest way is to create dummy users for all names that you don't want people to take.

The trick is basically if you ban users you don't delete their accounts.
You do one of those two but not both.
It makes always more sense to keep the user account anyway so they cannot re-register with that same name (see above)
And since you banned them they cannot log in as well.

Ok looked into it again. I made an account by the name of Administrator, got my confirmation e-mail and whatnot. Log in and it says I'm banned. Is there any way to prevent them from making the account in the first place?

when you banned the account and email, did you ban the ip aswell?
if you ban the ip they shouldnt be able to get back on.

I had a user, banned the email and username then deleted the account. Few months later they signed back up with the same username and all was well. It's like the ban didn't even exist. Does there need to be an account there in order for the ban to work? If so, how can I ban people from registering withthe username of Admin, Mod, or w/e?
