Your words stay yours.

1 Ownership

You own everything you publish here. By publishing, you grant Kuralok the non-exclusive licence needed to display it, cache it, index it and include it in feeds — and nothing more. Take your writing anywhere, anytime.

2 Responsibility

You publish only what you have the right to publish, and you remain responsible for what you write — under your name or anonymously. The Community Guidelines are part of these terms.

3 History is kept

Edits are versioned and every revision is retained: you can read your own post's full history, readers see that an entry was edited, and an award is pinned forever to the exact revision that won it. This is how readers trust that an argued position wasn't quietly rewritten.

4 Anonymity is one-way

You choose the mask at publish. A named post can later be made anonymous; an anonymous post can never be converted to a named one — the promise made to its readers cannot be withdrawn. Masking cannot recall copies already public elsewhere.

5 Moderation

Humans moderate. Content that breaks the Guidelines may be removed and accounts may be restricted — every action is logged, nothing is automated, and removal decisions can be appealed by reply.

6 Leaving

Delete your account and everything that identifies you is erased at once — name, email, password, bio, the login record, your sessions, notifications and block list — and your email is free to use again immediately. Your username is retired for good. Your published posts are anonymised rather than erased, preserving the conversations they anchor; your comments stay, attributed to “[deleted]”; drafts are erased. Want specific posts gone entirely? Delete them first, then the account. The full rule is in the Privacy Policy.

7 Changes

If these terms change materially, you'll be told before the change applies, in plain language, with the old text kept public — versioned history is not just for essays.
