This sounds like a bad idea simply for the reason that your program cant think
So if someone had the name
Kinky kenny or something they could be banned for being racist agenst jews.
You know why censors in games dont work? beacuse it blocks out usefull words and the words that were ment to be blocked in the first place just get replaced

It's a clever idea but not practical. Stars is right, a script will have no way to discriminate a racist name between a name like "Kinky Kenny." My advice would be to try and write a script that changes unnamed players to a preset name, e.g. IBISfan, and add a variable on the end like the last four digits of their steam ID. That would force each unnamed player to name change and also eliminate duplicates.
unnamed => IBISfan03EC
unnamed(1) => IBISfan4B20
Writing the unnamed script would also keep the size of the script to a minimum. The racist name script would, I assume, have a larger size due to the multiple variables. I know we are only speaking in terms of text here but with server scripts like gg, zmod, and wcsmod already native it seems wise to keep the amount of extra scripts low and simple.
two reasons a name changing script is bad. First I like changing unnamed people's names. Second, by creating a basic set name for people like this is there is ever several at once it will seem like bots and turn people off that don't know better.
You guys are so fucking anti.
If you were a beautiful sound in the echos all around, I'd be your harmony.
we don't need scripts to do inrecidbly easy and simple things.
and like rawr said, I enjoy changing ppl's names =p
not sure if racism is a big issue on the other servers but it's pretty mild on WCS.

Chatbans & Namebans:
Ventrillo Script:On the namebans it checks their name for racial words and it will ban them!
For name changes & bans they will happen at when they activate
unnamed

unnamed(2)
Progress is going good for you adminsIt will show Ventrillo IP & Port on Round end and Round start!
