Site Usage and Content Rules
All texts and images on Noctescat.com are protected by copyright. Usage terms are detailed on the License page.
Privacy
Noctescat.com does not collect personal data from visitors, except for minimal technical cookies automatically created by WordPress.
If you leave a comment, WordPress may store your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. This allows your browser to remember the fields when you comment again. These cookies last for one year.
No other cookies or tracking mechanisms are used.
Security
Noctescat.com uses standard HTTPS encryption provided by the Namecheap / EasyWP hosting.
All connections to the site are secure, and forms (including comments and contact forms) are transmitted over a secure protocol.
Basic spam protection mechanisms are in place. XML-RPC and pingbacks are disabled to protect against bots.
Data Collection and Use
Noctescat.com currently does not use Google Analytics, advertising networks, or any external visitor data collection tools. In the future, Google Analytics may be enabled with prior user notification.
The minimal data mentioned above is used solely to improve user experience — for example, by remembering comment details or language preferences.
Personal data is not shared, sold, or transmitted to third parties.
Language Policy
Noctescat.com is a bilingual site in Russian and English. The vast majority of content is duplicated, but the author reserves the right to publish certain articles in only one language.
Language switching is available on every page of the site.
Important: both versions of an article match in content by approximately 90%, but are not literal translations of each other. Minor discrepancies may exist that do not affect the overall topic. The English version is often slightly more detailed than the Russian one.
Pronouns policy
In articles which lean heavier onto theological or academic side, pronouns for God are written in lowercase – he, him – in line with common scholarly style. In prayers or mystical passages they are capitalized – He, Him, to honor divine majesty.
The Blessed Virgin Mary is always referred to as She/Her, regardless of context,
Angels and demons are always “he”, never “it”, reflecting their personal nature.
The human soul is “it” in academic contexts, but in prayers or mystical passages “she” might be used, evoking its bridal union with God.
Same with the Church: “it” in regular context, “it” or possibly “she” in prayers and similar.
In theological discourse, an abstract person is “he”, following scholastic tradition. In more journalistic articles, “they” is preferred, in line with modern usage.
Pronouns that deviate from conventional English grammar are not used.
Use of AI
Large Language Models (LLMs) are used solely as an auxiliary tool for proofreading, particularly the English version of articles, as the author is fluent but not native in English. They check spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Stylistic suggestions from LLMs may be accepted, rejected, or partially adopted.
AI is not involved in the actual writing, topic selection, idea generation, argumentation, or conclusions.
AI is also used to generate featured images for posts. Should financial and logistical opportunities arise in the future, the author will commission real artists for this purpose.
The use of LLMs does not affect copyright: all site materials remain the intellectual property of the author.
Comments and Moderation
Comments under an article must be in the same language as the article itself. If not, the comment may be moved to the corresponding article (e.g., an English comment will be transferred from a Russian article to its English counterpart) or deleted.
Comments that are directly insulting to the author, Christian faith, or the Catholic Church will be removed.
However, comments expressing reasoned disagreement in a neutral or respectful manner will be retained.
Stupid comments may either be removed or kept.
Examples:
1. “Christianity sucks” – insulting comment, will be deleted.
2. “Christianity is wrong, period” – neutral but unsubstantiated disagreement. Likely to be deleted.
3. “Christianity is wrong because…” – neutral, reasoned disagreement. Will be kept and likely receive a response.
4. “The Christian egregore is outdated because reptilians have begun the Age of Aquarius” – stupid comment. Likely to be deleted.
Comments are reviewed and moderated on average once a week.
The author reserves the right to use both their own replies to comments and discussions among other users within the comments as creative material for new articles, but without directly quoting the text.
If you have left a comment, you may request an exported file of your personal data (if any) or its deletion. Requests can be sent via the contacts.
Policy Updates
The privacy policy and site rules may be updated from time to time.
Significant changes will be reflected on this page with an updated publication date. Continued use of the site after an update will constitute acceptance of the new rules.
Last change: 29/10/2025.
