there's a certain young lady who has been a model for months here and for some unknown reason her name is on the censor list. no one can even greet her properly without seeing stars! honestly what part of mandy b is so godly awful that it cannot be typed in open chat?

can her name please be removed from the list of evil words? Quote

I agree mate , the censor should have Mandy removed from it.. I spotted that other day too in that ladies room (Mandy B), it can't be helping her to work well that... Will flag this for Brad and hope he will do right thing and remove it . Quote

No idea why "mandy" was in the filtered words list; just removed it. Will take a couple hours for all of the servers to grab the update.

Brad - I recall researching this word MANDY a year or so ago when we first saw it censored in some chat.
The thread "censored words" (last post 5/27/09) in the VIP General Discussion Forum refers.

This is what I posted on 28 March 2009 in that thread about the word "Mandy"

Seems Mandy was a slang name for Mandrax or more correctly methaqualone, a sedative drug, and seems to have been used under various marketing names including Quaaludes.
To quote wikipedia, Quaaludes became increasingly popular as a recreational drug during the 1960s, and during the disco club scene in the 1970s. The drug was more tightly regulated in Britain under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and in the U.S. from 1973. With its addictive nature clear, it was withdrawn from many developed markets in the 1980s, being made a Schedule I drug in the US in 1984.

Smoking methaqualone, either alone or as an adulterant added to various legal and illegal smoking mixtures, gained popularity in the United States during the mid 1970s. When smoked, methaqualone gives the user an immediate trance-like euphoria that quickly wears off. Smoking methaqualone pills leads to emphysema and other chronic lung disorders.
Seems it is still produced illegally as it is popular in South Africa when smoked with marijuana.

Also see that Mandy is now street slang for ecstasy (MDMA)

(Other names include "Sopors" and "smarties" (geluk-tablette meaning happy tablets in South Africa)

Seems it is illegal -
