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.
- Status
The copyright has not changed in this set of rules, except who you need to get permission from.
Regarding anything else, if you do not want Paradox to have copyright, don't post your secret plans for world domination or I will claim them as my own and implement it before you do.

Does the pic tag even work there?
You have my permission to try?
I cannot confirm because my permissions may be different.
Just as some level of common sense is used on our end when applying rules, it must also be on the members end.
Obviously you are commenting on my post, and you did not receive an infraction.
Now most of my posts in public forums tend to be of the administrative type, but Demi Mods for instance often engage in more casual conversations and discussions.
My understand is that most of them use a "Mod color" to denote when they are speaking as staff, and the default when speaking as a member. However you must still use reasonable judgment if it could be construed as being a staff comment when posted in the default color.
If it is really ambigiuos then use a PM to be safe.
As for Johan, if you wish to discuss any administrative action he has taken feel free to PM me, my inbox is unlimited, I will always get it.
*And yes I have granted myself an exemption from the multipost rule in this case.
Oh, I can confirm that the tag doesn´t work in the signature.
I just thought it would since I have seen it on other forums. But I guess they have a different Signature Permission for regular members.
Well, I guess I should check stuff before coming with suggestions. :oo
In the past, I have posted links to GamersGate when Paradox games went on sale. Do the new rules (i.e. no external links) prohibit that?
Good question. I would like to know this also since my understanding is it would be ok since the post would be promoting a Paradox product not something I was selling to trying to sell.
Through the magic of the internet, I was able to ascertain what this might mean. Quoted from the website of Sweden's Ministry of Justice:
I surmise therefore that by posting on this forum I give up the right to my exact words (that is, I could not republish the very words I write here without written permission of Paradox Interactive) but not my ideas and so forth. I searched Google for "swedish copyright law" and this came up at the top of the search results.
I would take this to mean as a practical matter that you host your own original work (or artwork based on public domain work, like images on Wikisource) on a site that allows you to retain copyright if that is a concern. Though I would say that as an academic historian that I consider it plagiarism to use another's work without attribution. I am not conversant on Swedish law in this matter, but I take from Uppsala University's website that plagiarism in Sweden is similar to what I lecture my students on here in the states. Many writers do not hold copyright on their own material (it belongs to say a press or academic journal for example), but it is a professional obligation to attribute some idea or other to the original author even if you do not know his or her legal name. I mean no offense to any party by what I say here, but I just wanted to share the results of my rather shallow research on Swedish laws related to the production of artistic materials, which much of what members of this forum share with the community should IMHO be considered. Thank you for reading.

They're basically the same as when you joined three years ago. What exactly is weird about them?

What about other stores (Steam, Impulse etc.) who sell PI games?
Also what about Off Topic subforum?
As Johan says a link to a page that sells Paradox games, from a major retailer is okay.
I will clarify his remark to say that just because you put a sales link on your page does not mean you can link to that page regardless of the other content on it. For instance linking to a Nazi site that has a sales link for HOI3 is not permitted.

I think this is obvious, but links to the EU3wiki (and other Pdox wikies) are ok, yes?
well for example using "foul" language as an emphasis is banned but I don't think calling someone a cockroach is.
But that's because I'm not a native English speaker.
Well, I s'pose that if I ever want to contribute with original content, I'll first have to publish it somewhere else. Anyway, good to read the rules once more, keeps you fresh.
The rule says "You will at all times respect and refrain from harassing and/or personally attacking other users or Paradox staff." Calling someone a cockroach would most likely fall under that category and result in an infraction for insulting another poster.
