TERMS.

GOAT is a voting board. It is not an official ranking, a court, or a newsroom.

You sign in with Google or X. One account, one ballot, per field. A locked ballot cannot be edited or withdrawn.

You are responsible for the fields you open and the names you put on them. Private attacks on private people may be refused. Public figures and public questions may run. The desk may hold, hide, settle, or delete a field without a public reason.

Results are produced by the published rules, not by staff taste. A field may close with no winner.

By using GOAT you accept these terms and the privacy note below.

We store your account id, your ballots, fields you create or follow, and optional profile notes you type (email, country, year of birth, gender). Skip them. They are not required to vote.

Email is used only to send a private password or a close notice, and only if you asked for that. Google may give us an email. X often does not.

We do not sell this. The desk can see fields, reports, and enough identity to run the board. Votes are counted; individual ballots are not published as a named list.

Sign out on the account menu. To remove a field, report it or write the desk if you created it.
