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.
As is currently when you get temporary banned from the forums you can't access your personal messages so for the entirety of the lockout period you can't find out why you have been temporary banned.
A way to filter out joke answers and memes would be nice. People who want to see memes and jokes can simply have the option switched on.
Maybe allow us to tag our forum threads with the tag "Serious" like they do on Reddit?

REQUEST: Add 'Interesting' as a forum post button.
REASONING: Often I see posts which whilst I may not necessarily 'agree' with, but the idea definitely has merit for further discussion.
e.g. User proposes an out-of-box idea which requires refinement. I neither agree nor disagree with it, but would like to highlight interest in it for other users.

Make subforums which require game sync visible to everyone (not accessible), so newly registered users would at least know they exist.
I'd like to request a better integration of Paradox Accounts with the Paradox store. For example, our accounts know what games and DLCs we have, the badges under our avatars could not work otherwise. I think it would be very handy if the store had access to that info as well, so games or DLCs I already own would be marked as such in the store. (This is one of the major advantages that the Steam store has over Paradox's store, it makes it easy to see what you don't have yet.) If this could be tied into a filter for the store, that would be even better. That is, I'd like it if I could go to the store, and set it to only show me EU4 DLCs that I don't own.
On a tangentially related note, the store doesn't remember if I select "Show as List" if I select that then select a filter, instead resetting the view to display a grid with thumbnails.
On the subject of the account's list of owned games, (the list viewable by clicking the email address in the upper right corner of a forum page, then the My Games tab,) would it be possible to add a Show as List option like the store has? Currently the only way to view the page shows a grid with strangely cropped thumbnails for the owned items, which is nowhere near as easy to skim to see if something is there as a simple list would be. (If the page could be automatically organized into collapsible folders for each game, where clicking it would expand it and show a list of all the owned DLCs, that would be even better, but just being able to view it as a list at all would be good enough for me.)

Some high-contrast layout (mostly black/white) would be useful for those of us with bad eyes. Also, I'd love to turn of custom colors in signatures (just for the viewer, not forbid it!) without having to turn of signatures at all, as there is some useful information in there at times.
Would it be possible to split this preference setting?
I'd like to be able to automatically watch threads I start (most often bug report threads, so I can be sure I'll get an alert if someone from QA posts asking for more details or the like), but I don't want to watch every single thread I make a single post in.
Hello lads, I noticed a distinct lack of wheat in the slug profile picture's mouth. While I find the rest of the picture very endearing, I believe the wheat would improve it tenfold.
I am not sure if this has been discussed in the past, and I can't seem to find any subforums of the nature I'm currently thinking of discussing, so here was one idea I think could ever so lightly increase the interconnectivity of these forums:
A "Forum Games," Subforum.
As a member of an older, and now sllightly deflated forum community which lost a lot of momentum after the developer of said forums game went quiet for a long time, I had a long term experience with a really gpod concept which we had more or less come up with and the dev had played a long with... There was a sub forum for users to create and play interactive fprum games. This included the usual things you see in the RPG section, but it also included evolutionary games(the forum was based around an evolution simulation game), and branched off into forum games, WARs, Dwarf Fortress Succeaaion games, and even politics games for imaginary countries. It ended up being something that kept the community lively and interconnected for several years, and I think could be used to add a little extra touch of flavour to the PDI forums.

How is this different from the forum we already have called OT Forum Games? https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?forums/ot-forum-games.419/
OML I couldn't find that, so I assumed it didn't exist. In sorry. >.<
Also, thank you for giving me a link to this SF
I'd like to hear an explanation for why you have a "frowning on necro" policy?"
Is there any sense to it, or is it just a caprice?

Because the original poster may have moved on, because the game has moved on to a new patch, because the topic is no longer relevant,...
It's not like you have a limit in the number of threads you can create, and you can link to the previous thread for reference.
So it isn't to prevent any malice or disturbance? Just because it might not be relevant any longer?
It is of course your website, and we use it at your discretion. However, if I might politely offer the insight: the internet (or to be more specific Google's search functionalities) does not regard a thread which is a year old, but which contains strings that closely match an advanced search to be no longer relevant. Often a user of the forums may in fact, do such a google search, find such an older thread, read such an older thread and find that such an older thread was discussing matters which remain salient and relevant and timely for said user. The natural inclination of said user in such an instance is to post into such a thread to continue and expand on such a discussion. This is a quite common occurrence on similar game boards that do not adhere to such a peculiar "frown on necro" policy.
The alternative which you seem to wish to promote is that users in the situation I describe above will take the time to copy/paste some of the particulars of the "old" thread into a notepad, start a new thread and link to the old thread in order to facilitate a continuation/expansion of the pre-existing discussion.
I find that many, if not most of the google advanced searches I have been doing to find information about HOI4 produce search results which are threads on this board which are in the 1 to 2 year old ballpark, and which may not have had any responses for a year or more.
And when those threads revolve around games that are patched very often, digging up an irrelevant thread back to the top is distracting and almost always involves someone who isn't the necromancer calling out or "correcting" other users who were responding with the most up-to-date information that is two years out of date.
We use context as much as we can, but generally starting a new thread is the best option for us and the necromancer who is likely going to get ignored so the section of our userbase that lives for correcting people descends on the corpse-posts of yesteryear.
Tapatalk support? I saw a thread that apparently they charge but it was a few years old. Is that still the case?
