By using sylebel.net, its associated pages, or its forum, the user accepts this legal notice and these terms of use.

These terms may be modified to reflect changes to the website, the forum, the services used, or applicable obligations. Continued use of the website after modification constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Use of the forum

Forum users agree to publish respectful, relevant content that complies with applicable laws. Illegal, abusive, defamatory, threatening, hateful, fraudulent, malicious content, or content infringing the rights of others may be deleted, edited, moved, or locked.

The site team may take the measures necessary for the proper operation of the forum, including message moderation, access restrictions, account suspension, or user banning when the situation justifies it.

IP addresses and certain technical logs may be recorded to ensure security, diagnostics, maintenance, and enforcement of forum rules.

Scientific section of the forum

Exchanges published in the scientific section of the forum may be preserved, analyzed, cited, translated, moderated, and periodically archived in order to preserve the history of contributions, ensure continuity of discussions, and provide evidence of anteriority for participants.

Some scientific exchanges may be deposited on Zenodo or on other scientific archiving services. These deposits may include message content, publication dates, public usernames, public identifiers required for citation of contributions, and certain public profile elements when they support author identification or the scientific traceability of a contribution.

Public profile elements may include, for example, a professional page, a website, an ORCID identifier, a publication page, a DOI, an X/Twitter account, a YouTube channel, or other similar public references.

Later deletion or modification on the forum does not necessarily guarantee deletion of information already included in a previous scientific archive.

Translation, moderation, and automated assistance

The website and forum may use automated or AI-assisted tools to support certain functions, including translation, moderation, content classification assistance, consistency checks, or administrative assistance.

These tools do not necessarily replace human decision-making where it is required. Some operations may be reviewed, corrected, or reversed by the site team depending on the context.
