Oh, didn't mean that.
Meant more discussing the topic itself later again civilly.
As in, generally the topic itself isn't banned, afaik. But perhaps im wrong.

We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.

That's what I meant with "it depends".
It depends of the escalation, on the participation and on the general topic. If a topic gets too hot and if everybody is flinging poo at everyone it might be better to let it cool down a few days even if it's not among the banned topics.
And it depends if it's OT or a game forum. OT is a special place in many regards.
I am a fairly new Paradox Fan who is also a long time fan of forum werewolf/mafia games. When I joined the forum i naturally checked to see if yall had a community and it turns out you technically do. The problem arises though that they have become so despondent at being in a deeply "nested" sub sub sub forum that they've given up and become dead in side with no spirit. My question is there ever a possibility that OT Forum Games could become a main subforum of Fun Forums so it's visible and easily findable on the main page of the forum OR potentially even that werewolf/mafia could be granted it's own dedicated subforum in Fun forums?

FWIW, I didn't know this existed, and it's so inaccessible I wouldn't ever have found it accidentally. I'm not at all invested in werewolf/mafia (I've tried to like these games many times, and failed), but I think @Chumley1 has a point here - it would be good to make the forum a little bit more visible (eg. as a subcategory of "Fun Forums" on the main page).

Sometimes new forum members will ask why they can't post a link, and the answer is anti-spam features preventing new accounts from doing that because spammers have in the past abused that feature.
But there are some sites which should be white-listed, because links to them are never spammers but rather valuable community members.
Sites I'm talking about are:
- Steam workshop and the PDX mod repository (modders)
- PDX's own forums, wikis, and content sites (bug reports, tech support)
Today I helped a new modder add a link to a thread because it was his first mod and he didn't have enough posts to include a URL yet. This is a pointless frustration because the Steam workshop is not a place spammers could profitably link, and modders should be considered high-value community members who contribute to PDX games.
A small domain whitelist could remove a frustration for some of our most helpful community members.

Hi
I would like to suggest a color scheme with dark font on a light background. The “Paradox” color scheme is extremely tiring to read. “Paradox Classic” is better due to the lighter background, but is still tiring when reading more than one paragraph of text.

Well, pick any News website or have a look at Reddit, Discord, Facebook, Google, or just pick a book, they usually have a light theme with dark letters for a good reason. On such websites I can literally read books without getting tired. But light letters on dark background are killing my eyes
Yes, I wear good glasses
I'm asking for an additional color scheme without overhauling the existing ones.

A book is okay, although it can be a problem in the sun, but the light glare from a screen when 95% is white is killing my not so young eyes. Had I been a teen again, it would be otherwise. Discord is dark, gmail as well, fb I use less nd less and reddit is cancer.Well, pick any News website or have a look at Reddit, Discord, Facebook, Google, or just pick a book, they usually have a light theme with dark letters for a good reason.

Even my kindle is set to a less white background to spare my eyes.
Reddit, Discord and Google have dark mode available for a good reason too. And paper books are not screens.Well, pick any News website or have a look at Reddit, Discord, Facebook, Google, or just pick a book, they usually have a light theme with dark letters for a good reason.

And PDX forums has no light mode at all, that's why I'm suggesting that.

I'm sure what the following suggestion has been posted before, however, I badly need a way to change my username which doesn't reflect me at all anymore. It's a special bother to me when I upload to PDX Mods. Even if the original account username can't be changed, there should be a way to have a different name be shown in forum and other PDX platforms. (steam has this possibility)
Additionally, it would be great if we could upload our own thumbnail.

Post in thread 'Username changed by itself?' https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/username-changed-by-itself.1707405/post-29920080
A support ticket is the best way.
I would be happy if we could have "Sort by reaction score" not only in developer diaries but also in discussions, which would make searching easier.
When creating a new thread, the forum should automatically search for similar existing threads and warn the user this might be a duplicate if any
It would help reduce the amount of duplicate threads

What if the "duplicate threads" are outdated, old or not exactly the same ?
A few questions arise :
- "Warning" ? As a suggestion or limitation for the user ? If the latter, how should moderators (be allowed to) treat this?
- What exactly is a "duplicate thread" in your head actually ? Define. Afterall a forum logic would need to know too.
- This question only matters if it becomes 'law', so to speak. Are you going only by keywords ? What about circumstances and arguments ?
- Where and how are "duplicate threads" (even) a problem ?
Back to your point, what i could imagine is a thread title list for the user to look into and select to read in a new tab and make their own decision.
Pratical, simple and leaves the user the freedom to choose and the moderator to decide to leave it be or merge the threads.
