House rules

The Wizard's Forum is a place for conversation, not for combat. These rules take a minute to read and exist so it stays pleasant.

What is welcome

Beginner questions, with no fear of sounding silly. Disagreement backed by argument. Personal experience. Polite correction of anyone who got something wrong — myself included. Good humour.

What is not

• Attacks on people. Criticise the idea, never the person who wrote it.
• Advertising. If your message exists to sell something, it is not conversation.
• Prejudice of any kind. No debate, no second chance.
• Medical, legal or financial advice dressed up as an astrological reading. That goes beyond entertainment and can genuinely harm someone.
• Other people's personal data. No addresses, no phone numbers, no one's chart without their permission.

How moderation works

Your first message goes through a quick check before appearing. After that, your messages publish instantly — except when they contain links, which are always checked.

There is no sign-up and no password. Your browser keeps a marker that remembers your name and your standing. If you clear your browser data or switch devices, you start again as a new visitor. That is the price of not having to create an account.

Reported messages are reviewed by me, not by a robot. Anyone who keeps breaking the rules gets blocked.

Privacy and the law

When you publish or report, the site records your IP address and the date. This is not audience measurement: it is what Brazilian law 12.965/2014 (the Internet Civil Framework), article 15, requires to be kept for six months. After that period, the record is deleted automatically.

People who only read the forum are not recorded this way. On the rest of the site, audience measurement still stores no IP at all.

To ask for something you wrote to be removed, use the report button on that message and explain the request — it comes straight to me.

One last note

Astrology, oracles and signs are, here, entertainment and culture. Nothing read in this forum replaces a doctor, a lawyer, a therapist or your own judgement. If you are going through a hard time, please seek real help — and count on me for the rest.
