How do I configure Automod to filter out creeps by identifying username components?
Post Body

I'm a mod of r/rape, Reddit's largest sexual-violence support sub. As you'd imagine, we get a lot of vandalism by creeps and perves. In many cases the individuals concerned flag themselves by including creepy and pervy components in their username, e.g. u/CreepyPerve1234. I'm wondering if it's possible to configure the automod so as to screen out people who do so (or, at the least, divert their posts or comments to the mod queue for manual approval)?

Needless to say, we can't predict all the variants that these people might use. Is there any formula that, to take my example above, would key in on the words "Creep" or "Perve" and thus hold up contributions from, say:-

...and so forth?

Hey thrf I'm sharing your post with some of my smart friends, do you have any examples of the creepy username components we're trying to filter out?

I think the creeps in r/pregnant are more likely to dm and chat people than actually post. In r/rape they are actually wild with it and will make public comments
