Terms of Service
Effective date: July 30, 2026. Operated by Jimmy Snow Media LLC ("we", "us"). Contact: Contact@qnaline.com.
1. What this is
The LinePod Newsroom is a community app for patrons of The Line. You sign in with your Patreon account; what you can do here depends on your Patreon membership tier. The Newsroom is a benefit of membership, not a separate paid product — we never take payment here, and upgrading or cancelling always happens on Patreon itself.
2. Who may use it
You must be 18 or older. You confirm this when you set up your profile, and we rely on that confirmation. If you are under 18, do not use the Newsroom — whatever your Patreon membership includes elsewhere.
3. Your profile
You choose a display name, a permanent handle, and optionally a bio and an avatar. Your Patreon account name is never shown to other patrons. Profiles and any later changes to them are reviewed by our producers before other patrons see them, and we may decline or remove any profile content at our discretion. Your handle is permanent — it is how other patrons refer to you and how your history stays attributable.
4. Your content and conduct
Comments, questions, submitted links, poll and forecast responses, flags you raise on a story, and reports you file are yours, but you give us a non-exclusive licence to display them within the Newsroom and to read them on the show. Plain-text only; no harassment, hate, spam, doxxing, illegal content, or impersonation. Moderators may remove content, lock threads, and ban accounts. Bans attach to your Patreon identity. You get one appeal per ban, from your account page.
5. Reputation and LineCoin
Participation earns two numbers. Reputation is a standing score — it only ever goes up and cannot be spent on anything. LineCoin can be earned by taking part (voting, and calling outcomes correctly in the show's forecasting contest) and will eventually be spendable on cosmetic and community items inside the Newsroom.
Both numbers exist for fun. Neither has any monetary value. They cannot be purchased, sold, transferred between accounts, or redeemed for money, goods, or anything of value anywhere. Calling an outcome never costs anything and you can never lose either number by taking part. We may adjust, rebalance, or reset balances as the community economy develops, and we may decline entries or void questions at our discretion.
6. What we promise, and don't
The Newsroom is provided as-is, without warranties. We aim to keep it up but do not guarantee availability, and features may change as it develops. Nothing here is professional advice. To the extent the law allows, our liability to you in connection with the Newsroom is limited to the amount you paid Patreon for the month in question.
7. Ending things
You can stop using the Newsroom at any time; cancelling your Patreon membership removes access at the end of your paid period. We may suspend or terminate accounts that break these terms. You may request deletion of your account and its content — see the Privacy Policy for what deletion covers.
8. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and any dispute is handled in the state or federal courts located in Texas. If any part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies.
9. Changes
If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll say so in the app before the change takes effect. Continuing to use the Newsroom after that is acceptance.
The forecasting contest is a game of skill for entertainment only. It involves no wager, no purchase, and no prize of monetary value; reputation and LineCoin cannot be bought, cashed out, or transferred. Apple is not a sponsor of, and is not involved in any manner with, any contest or feature of the Newsroom.
