I found a post on drupal.org that said you could do all of this via Access Rules.
So I went there and entered the following three rules to outlaw underscores
_% - deny/username %_ - deny/username %_% - deny/username
.....and found myself and every other username blocked from the site, unable to log in without getting a "this username has been reserved" error message. Totally frozen out of the site, I had to go into phpmyadmin and get rid of those three entries from the "access" table. Have I ignored something glaringly obvious with those deny rules?
You probably know by now. Those rules for forbidding access can do what you want but that is just a bonus. Their main function is to forbid access to anyone with such a username. Good idea for a new site though.
Oops! I just noticed you said "every" user. Underscore is a wildcard for any single character.
