Not even seen by the creator, I think? They're always entered into a password box and asterisked out, no? The only person who would see this list is the person who wrote it, and anyone ferreting around in the script code...

And if they're blocking them as partial words (I haven't checked the code) then that's everything from 'niggardly' to 'extravagant' banned, then.
