Invalid Update username banword list

I often encounter usernames on Showdown that are definitely against the protocol. While of course some of the most obvious explicit/vulgar words are banned from being used in usernames, there are more than a few words that cannot be used in any other way except a vulgar or explicit way, yet these words are not on the banlist yet.
If Showdown were to update or expand its list of banned words for usernames, it would be a time save for global moderators in the future and would keep Showdown PG more easily.
I'm not sure if I can name some example words here, but perhaps there is a log of force-renames that can be used as a reference.
 
We filter quite a few words from usernames already, if you have suggestions for more feel free to make an admin request with them (as I'd perfer they aren't posted here). Regardless in general, users can get... creative... with inappropriate usernames and bypass these filters so if you see an inappropriate username please report it by clicking their name, the three dots for more options, and then report.
