Description
This patch attempts to better address ongoing abuse of the WordPress.org services as well as external trademarks.
- User IPs that are known to be squiffy will now be shown on the more prominent user card instead of the review card. This will help us spot people faster. (NB: This is RARELY used, and really needs a better check, but this will do for now)
- Reserved slugs and high value slugs have been expanded
- Clarified language as to where you need to edit the name (main plugin file AND readme please)
- Check for trademark protected slugs. This will block people using instagram (for example) AT ALL in a plugin URL. This comes at a request from Trademark Owners.
- Short plugin names will be blocked to prevent SEO abuse.
- Remove warning about slug since we're blocking them outright now.
Item 4 needs some serious checking. It worked okay in my tests.

Typo in https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/9096
Your chosen plugin name - %1$s - is not permitted becuase it is too short. Please change the %2$s line in your main plugin file and readme and upload it again.
