[Release] Prevent Restricted Character Names On Creation

09/27/2026 02:08 eren59#1
Hello shaiya community,

Today I am sharing a simple yet effective SQL query/trigger setup to block specific keywords, admin impersonation tags (e.g., [GM], [ADM]), or offensive words during character creation.

This prevents players from creating characters with forbidden names directly at the database level.

Features:
- Case-insensitive keyword matching.
- Easy to add/remove forbidden words.
- Instant error response on character creation.

Code:
USE [PS_GameDefs]
GO

/****** Object:  Table [dbo].[BannedNames]    Script Date: 06/20/2021 00:06:57 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[BannedNames](
	[RowID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
	[BannedName] [varchar](max) NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_BannedNames] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
	[RowID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX  = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE  = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS  = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS  = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]

GO

SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
GO

Code:
IF(@CharName IN (Select BannedName From PS_GameDefs.dbo.BannedNames))
BEGIN
	RETURN -1
END
