Editorial Policy

YesOrNoAI publishes practical explanations for low-stakes decision tools and reflective entertainment. The purpose is to help a reader understand what a tool does, where it can be useful, and where it should not be trusted. Content is not created to turn every wording variation into a separate search page.

We distinguish observable facts, editorial interpretation, and entertainment. A random result does not discover a correct answer, reveal hidden information, or replace an accountable decision maker. Tarot and Magic 8-Ball material is presented as reflection, not prediction.

The YesOrNoAI Editorial Team researches and maintains the site's editorial material. A page identifies its real author or responsible team. We do not invent people, biographies, qualifications, review signatures, first-hand experience, or testimonials.

A long-form page about an individual tarot card requires a second human review recorded in the content record. If no real, named second reviewer is recorded, the page remains a draft and must not be published or submitted for indexing. A reviewer is described only by experience or credentials that can be verified and disclosed with permission.

For verifiable claims, we prefer primary sources, official documentation, systematic reviews, and authoritative institutions. Sources are used to check facts and boundaries; we do not scrape articles or republish third-party prose with superficial wording changes.

Interpretive material must be identified as interpretation. Tarot meanings differ across traditions, so a card page must document the framework it follows, explain its yes, no, or maybe leaning, and acknowledge uncertainty. Upright and reversed meanings are reviewed independently rather than produced by mechanically reversing the wording.

AI may assist with a first-pass tarot mapping or draft, an outline, consistency checks, missing-field detection, duplicate-language checks, or other editorial quality assurance. It cannot approve a tarot verdict, invent a source, create a reviewer, supply personal experience, or approve a page for publication. A human editor reviews and accepts or changes every visible interpretation.

A human author remains responsible for every published claim and interpretation, and a human publishing owner makes the release decision. Personal questions or sensitive user information must not be placed into an external AI system for content production.

Decision and tarot content must not diagnose illness, replace legal or financial advice, determine consent, or make a safety-critical choice. It must not claim certainty about pregnancy, death, crime, another person's private thoughts, or another person's future behavior.

When a topic can materially affect health, money, legal rights, safety, or another person's welfare, the page directs the reader toward qualified help and verifiable information. Reflective prompts stay focused on the reader's own observations, choices, and low-risk next actions.

Every tarot image must have a provenance record before release. The record identifies the exact file, creator, source or contract, edition where relevant, rights basis, permitted uses and territories, attribution, modifications, file hash, and the real person who completed the rights check.

We do not treat an image found in search results, on Pinterest, on a competing site, or in a modern deck as free to reuse. A historic work and a later scan, recoloring, restoration, edition, or trademark may have different rights. AI-assisted artwork also records the provider, model, reference inputs, human contribution, and applicable commercial-use terms; commercial permission is not described as exclusive ownership without evidence.

Editorial content moves through documented draft, source-check, review, safety-check, and publishable states. A page is released only after its required fields, sources, review, rights records, canonical URL, language alternatives, and visible disclosures are complete.

Each substantive page records a content version, publication date, and last substantive update. We change the update date only when meaning, evidence, methodology, safety guidance, or another material part of the page changes. Spelling or layout-only edits do not create a false freshness date.

Advertising and commercial relationships do not determine editorial conclusions. Advertisers cannot buy a recommendation, tarot verdict, source selection, or favorable review. Any future sponsorship or affiliate relationship must be disclosed near the affected material.
