Terms
The rules of using Halo — what the account is, what moderation can do, and how you leave.
The service and your account
Halo hosts a public profile page for anyone who wants one: your links, your Discord presence if you choose to publish it, a visitor counter. It is a self-serve, free service. Using it means agreeing to the rules here, and the site's own tooling (reporting, moderation, and the account page) is where everything below is enforced — not a support channel.
Your account is username-and-password, nothing else: no email is attached, no marketing is sent, and the account exists exactly as long as you say it does. If you lose the password, that account cannot sign in again — there is no recovery path — and its public profile stays up until you delete it (or the cooldown on a deletion you already started runs out).
Self-asserted fields are self-asserted: a display name, a Discord id, or the profile data behind a widget is typed by the owner and the site does not verify ownership of it beyond what it says it does. That is the trade that keeps the site free of an OAuth consent flow, and it means impersonation is possible on paper and handled by the report-and-moderate flow rather than by identity proofs at signup.
What you may not do
Everything illegal where you are, is not allowed here either. Specifically the things this site's moderation queue exists to hear reports about: impersonating another person, harassment, spam, or content inappropriate for a public profile. Hosting media that is yours to host is the requirement — hotlinking someone else's media because you cannot host it is your problem to fix, not an entitlement the terms grant.
The site's own technical surfaces have rules too: the visitor counter, presence poll and RSS feeds are public, documented, and rate-limited by caches that already exist. Scraping them blindly, inflating your own counter, or using the report queue as a harassment tool is use of the service contrary to its obvious function, and is treated as what it is.
Moderation
Reports are filed in-product on any profile. Moderation is performed by the site's admins, from a queue they alone can see, with the outcomes the software itself provides: dismissal, suspension (your profile is hidden behind a notice only you can see the reason for, and you can sign in to appeal inside the dashboard) and banning (the same, and no further sign-in). Every outcome is recorded on the ticket, and reversal — including undoing a ban back to active — is a decision the admins can also make from the same queue.
An account you deleted yourself is not a moderation outcome and cannot be restored from this flow; the deletion cooldowns exist precisely so that the decision is in your hands for the window and final afterwards.
Leaving
You can leave at any time and the door does not need a message. Deleting from your account page hides the profile immediately, starts a 7-day window during which you can cancel and everything returns as-was, and at the end of it erases the account and everything it owns permanently (see privacy). You can also download everything you stored before you go, and the export is your copy to do whatever with.
Terminating your relationship with the service does not require agreeing to anything new, and there is nothing in this document about a deleted account that keeps you tied to it afterwards. The moderation record — reports filed against a profile that existed — is the only exception, and the privacy page explains how that is stored.
Availability, and changes to these terms
There is no uptime promise, no SLA, and no compensation for a service that is slow or offline — the site costs nothing and carries no payment of any kind. Features arrive and leave, and when a change affects what is stored (rather than how a screen looks) the privacy page updates alongside the change rather than after. Version history is not tracked below this paragraph: the page you are reading is the current terms, and the git history of this repository is the record of how they got here.
