url rewriting - Recommended Lists Of Reserved Words For User-Generated URL Components -


i in process of creating web app. since admire directness of twitter's url scheme user pages, i'm trying emulate them. i'd users' profile pages available @ http://myapp.com/user_chosen_identifier. right have basic code ensuring rfc3305 compliance put in url, i'm more worried words should reserve. there question year ago that almost, not quite, addressed problem. i'm using routes, it's pretty trivial implement - i'm not sure implement.


i've done brainstorming session think of identifiers prohibit (default.anything, about, admin, , on), that's not work done, i'm asking community tell me best practices , consensus.


words should prohibit users using in identifiers if use http://myapp.com/user_chosen_identifier url scheme ? there list of recommendations can start from?


alternatively, fundamentally intractable problem the clbuttic error , curseword filtering in general? *

here's words think about:

  • account(s)
  • android
  • blog
  • contact
  • css
  • faq
  • form
  • email
  • error
  • help
  • home
  • image(s)
  • iphone
  • js
  • privacy
  • news
  • rss
  • search
  • secure
  • service(s)
  • support
  • www
  • video

you might want think limiting minimum character length users can create. way have reserved number of words smaller length. think facebook require usernames on 4 characters.
