@Kilatamoro Just because you can't micro with 0.5s delay doesn't mean nobody can. I remember Zock killing two tanks and a few engies with a mech marine.
Also please note that people working on the game develop game logic, not game engineer. There are completely different sets of skills and experience.
Yeah looks like it got lost. Happens. Feel free to ping people if we don't respond. I get like 50 notifications in FAF a day and can only actually handle like 5...
I kindly asked on the NodeBB discord and they right away fixed a few issues, but only on the next version, which is a major upgrade to 4.0 so I will not roll it out right away.
And in general: I am super happy that you offer and try to fix it for FAF. But even better is fixing it "upstream" with the original authors. This is win-win because:
https://community.nodebb.org/ -> Follow the Discord link and/or particpate on the forum.
Also the theme we use is under https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona and as I learned today the themes come from a library called "bootswatch" (just read up the Discord talk in #general from yesterday :D)
@snoog I enabled it on forum.faforever.xyz, but where should that toogle show up? I do not see it
I've asked in their Discord where the CSS files for the themes are, so maybe someone can have a look.
But in general I get the demand for dark mode, but it is beyond my capabilities to support this too. Feel free to ask for help in the official nodebb forums. The people there are nice and helpful.
So we can raise a bug ticket but it's hard for me to tell what you think is wrong. So I assume the separator lines in the icons did not exist before?
What else?
You cannot detect the unread topics because you did not select the unread topics. Not sure what visual indicator you are missing, the default theme does not mark me already read topics in the recent view.
Which browser, which theme? Dark mode active I assume?
I am not using dark mode and everything looks normal.
I can only point to the code, you have to fix it yourself:

Moderation team found a solution, can we now start looking for the problem?
Encourage creative challenges, such as "engineers-only games" or "tech-3 only games" inspired by similar successful initiatives in other gaming communities.
What is the problem doing this with a regular account?
The player doesn't want to fiddle with its rating? Play an unrated map/mod (unit restrictions are sufficient). Or we just create an unrated mod.
Nobody wants to play with the player because the rating is too high? That remains the case, even if you hide the rating. But now the other participants just get a worse experience.
Only that one player is doing shenanigans but not telling the other players? I don't think you want to setup an officially approved "prank" game mode.
A better explanation why challenge account for challenges are required in the first place would be very helpful to understand the intentions.
The German coturn server seems to have crashed on the 09.01. with an out of memory error as it seems. It is back up now.
Our entire project is open source, even the infrastructure. So you can look for yourself what data we collect. The association finances are accessible to association members which everybody can join. We turn down / ignore offers for paid content and decided for ourselves that we do not even want sponsored tournaments.
Yes obviously we are very shady. There must be a hidden master plan behind this non profit strategy.
