Our publishing rules.
The same rules govern topic selection, source quality, automation disclosure, human review, and corrections across every guide.
Topic selection
We monitor Google Trends gaming topics and may check whether paid search placements exist. These signals only prioritize research; advertisers cannot buy editorial coverage or a positive conclusion.
Research and sourcing
Every production guide must include multiple accessible source links, distinguish verified facts from suggestions, avoid invented gameplay experience, and state when version-specific information may change. We prefer first-party publisher documentation and patch notes when available.
Automation
Software can collect public signals, propose long-tail questions, assist drafting, create original editorial illustrations, and publish guides that pass automated checks. Generated illustrations are clearly captioned as concepts; they are not presented as gameplay screenshots or factual evidence, and they must not copy official key art, interfaces, logos, or recognizable characters. A quality gate rejects thin, repetitive, unsafe, unsourced, or over-optimized output. Articles disclose material AI assistance. Automation does not excuse factual or visual errors.
Human review and advertising eligibility
Automated checks are not represented as human editing. Before a guide becomes eligible to load advertising, an accountable editor must check factual support, live source links, originality, usefulness, wording, and every illustration for misleading details and accurate alternative text, then record the reviewer and review date in our CMS. Guides without that complete review record remain ineligible for ads.
Corrections
Send corrections to admin@9ggm.com. Material corrections update the page date and, where useful, include an editor’s note.
