    Spot the inappropriate language

    Okay, I'm trying to submit a skill game and the game is complaining about inappropriate language in the track instructions. I got this problem with my previous skill game where "kilt" was apparently a bad word to use. But this time I'm absolutely clueless. Anyone know which word it could be?

    [code:1ddatz5w]Press %button_y% to turn 180 degrees (also useful as a powerful brake). Press %button_lb% or %button_rb% for different visuals.%linebreak%Avoid pianos for points. Pick up targets for extra points![/code:1ddatz5w]

    Hmm, that wasn't it. I replaced the word "pianos" and I still got the same error message.

    Is there no other way of doing what your trying to do..as daft as it is,it could be collectively inapropriate.i had a trials hd track name that i had to change due to a foul word..the word was balls...as in 'balls of steel'...
    Maybe if you redo it,then it will be fine is what im tryin to say.good luck.
    Post when u sor t it..

    Argh. Typing anything is already frustrating by itself since I have to use the gamepad

    I've gone through extra, degrees, visuals, targets and pianos. Either it's none of those, or it might be a combination of words as you suggested.

    Bleh, if only the game would simply tell me which word it is!

    Edit: I think I found a way to make the process go faster. Normally I have to go through the entire submission process to check each edit. But at the very end of the submission process you can change the track title, and you can keep doing that. If a bad word is in the track title, it'll say so. So I'm just gonna add every single word from my instructions into the title until I figure out which words are the bad ones.

    Edit 2: ... I'm absolutely completely baffled. I just added every single word to the title, and none of them triggered the error. As a test, I did add the word kilt (which was a "bad" word in one of my earlier tracks) and that did trigger an error for the title. Is it possible it's a sequence of 2 words? I dunno... I guess I'll just try to rewrite all of the instructions.

    Okay, I decided to test my theory about it being two words in sequence, and it turns out that was right. I added all the words into the title without spaces (since the text limit was kinda low, I had to change it a ton of times). I finally figured out that the cause is these 2 words in sequence: "points. Pick"

    I have absolutely no idea why that is considered bad language but I'm happy I was able to finally figure it out. I really REALLY wish the game would simply show which words was the cause whenever this happens. I don't think anyone could have logically thought those 2 words results in bad language.

    I seems to me that any language it deems inappropriate should be highlighted with the notice. You're not the first person I've heard with similar frustrations.
