Is "Minigame" a bad word?

Hmm…the bad word detector thinks there is a problem with your text. Please change it and remember to be respectful.
That message is showing me when I'm trying to name my studio “Minigames”. Is it bad word? I'm from Poland, so I'm not understand English best but what is bad in word “Minigames”?

I must update my signature…

There is a certain three-letter combination in that word that resembles a racial slur. Try naming your studio “Mini-Games”.

I've also seen “Fakebit” being blocked, I can't see anything and the word “Fake” on it's own works…
Must be a hidden slur I can't see in there somewhere, or not?
(also fakebit is a genre of chiptune (8 bit) music that just uses premade samples and is “not real 8 bit music”.)

@speakvisually*
@Harakou*

If you can't, I would suggest you going to the Contact Us page. See if you find their topic there.

Minigame is not a bad word in English. The filter is failing on you because of an unrelated word in there - n**, a racial slur. I've contacted the ST about this.

Thanks for the report!

We were made aware of this a few days back - and I thought we had taken care of it. Apparently, we still need to do some tweaks.

*Update* - This should now be fixed.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

The bad word detector had a problem now…
How about closing this because it is solved (I will not report it in case the maker of this topic wants to keep it alive).
