Report Folder and Report Name Control (Validation? Workflow? Apex?)

Question

Is there a way to control (to any degree) the naming conventions of Report Folders and Reports?

I'm not finding a solution via Google searches or Salesforce resources.

Some examples:

Block create/edit of report/folder with certain prefixes by certain users/ profiles/ etc
  (ex: IF LEFT(FolderName,3)="BAD" THEN ERROR)

Force use of certain prefixes in report/folder name by certain users/ profiles/ etc
  (ex: IF LEFT(FolderName,4)<>"GOOD" THEN ERROR)

Block use of certain words in report/folder names
  (ex: IF CONTAINS(foldername, "WRONG") THEN ERROR)

Info:   This is mostly business-process based, but also, as the Sys Admin, my desire for ORDER within the Org, and not allowing users to put things into disarray. Naming conventions are EXTREMELY important to me, from development to administration to folders on servers to day-to-day communications.

Short answer is no, you can't do that. That being said, best practice is to NOT let users create folders. This practice is established for exactly the reason you mentioned.

As for reports. The report name shouldn't be controlled like that. The report name is not for the admin, its for the users who need the reports and the names need to make sense to those users. Users need to be able to find and understand the purposes of the report. Otherwise, the report has no benefits.
