(Took out some company-specific terms at the top of the first one (e.g. imulus, stacks), added one term so far - 'edits'.)

NOTE: Does not include profanities. You may or may not want to add a list of those.
(See https://www.google.com/search?q=profanity+list, but don't try to apply regexp's here because Scunthorpe - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem)

For Rails, do this:
validates :name, :exclusion =>%w(about ac access ...)

Here's a list of subdomains that Cloudflare regards as "special": a link that Markdown doesn't like

I'd certainly reserve the direct subdomain since that's the default Cloudflare bypass subdomain.

Thanks @dominicsayers, updated from that list, I think it was another 12 terms.
