What changed, in plain language

How reviews are made

The only change is the scrambled code in the copyright contact email link, which Cloudflare rewrites each time the page is served. The actual email address and every term in the document stay the same.

This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).

Changelog

  1. ± CHANGEDContact email link code refreshed

    The legal contact email on the copyright-complaint section is hidden behind a spam-protection scrambler. That scrambled code changed, but it still points to the same email address. Nothing about your rights or obligations changed.
