Acceptable Use
- Be respectful. Harassment, hate speech, targeted abuse, and illegal content are prohibited.
- No spam or mass advertising. Do not advertise in unrelated channels or via unsolicited PMs.

Violations may result in removal from the network or other technical measures at our discretion.
Accounts & Identity

- Keep your credentials secure. If you suspect compromise, reset and contact staff.
- Username/channel registrations may be reclaimed for long-term inactivity or abuse prevention.
Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect (email and connecting IP addresses), why, and your rights. We do not sell data, share it outside SorceryNet, or use third-party services that access it.
Content & Liability
