Trust & transparency

Editorial Standards

How Gametopia Chronicles verifies meetup details, handles corrections, protects privacy, and stays independent.

Verification windows

  • This week’s highlights: confirmed within 72 hours of publish (host message, venue page, or league post).
  • Meetup Tracker entries: refreshed at least weekly; time-sensitive changes (cancellations, venue swaps) are updated same day when reported.
  • Sources: we link to original announcements when possible and label “unverified” if we can’t confirm in time.

Corrections & updates

  • Fast fixes: clear factual errors (date/time/location/format) are corrected as soon as verified.
  • Change notes: substantial updates are noted in the relevant post/recap when feasible.
  • How to report: send the correction with a source link or host confirmation.

Privacy & names

  • Adults-first community: we avoid publishing personal details beyond what hosts already share publicly.
  • Photos & identifiers: no close-up identification without permission; we prefer venue/board/table shots.
  • Removal requests: we honor reasonable requests to remove names or details that increase risk.

Independence

  • No pay-to-play: listings and write-ups aren’t guaranteed by sponsorship.
  • Clear labeling: sponsored placements are labeled and separated from editorial picks.
  • Conflicts: if we’re involved in a league or event, we disclose it in the post.

Tip: Hosting a new table or running a league night? Send details and we’ll add it after verification.
