the proper Paypal LINK a banned word???

[NikPreviousAcct]

To whom it may concerned and those bored enough to read it:

Why is FuseTalk's profanity filter picking up "pay pal" without the space as a banned word?

In my test in that thread, several have tried typing out the url "ht tp://w ww.pay pal.com" but it only shows up as ******.

What's the deal?

paypal

******

EDIT: You are correct.

paypal
h ttp://paypal.com works

So,it's not the word paypal being picked up as banned.

Dunno why.

Yes, we already figured that out if you had checked Nik's linked thread. But why is the URL banned?

Maybe the same reason techbargains and frozencpu .coms are banned.

tech bargains.com
frozen cpu.com

Edit: well, the latter was banned at one time. Frozencpu
