Code of Ethics & Standards

VoxelWire Editorial Guidelines

Our reputation rests entirely on our editorial integrity. We hold ourselves to uncompromising standards of honesty, independence, and technical rigor across every review and news brief we publish.

1. Uncompromised Independence

Review scores and news coverage are never for sale. Advertising deals, publisher partnerships, or free review code never dictate our editorial verdicts or coverage priority.

2. Human-Written Content Guarantee

Every word published on VoxelWire is researched, written, and verified by actual human editors. Generative AI tools are strictly prohibited from writing or auto-generating articles.

3. Sourcing & Attribution

We respect original reporting. When breaking news originates from another outlet, leak, or developer community post, we explicitly credit and link directly to the primary source.

4. Rapid Corrections Policy

If a factual error occurs, we fix it immediately and transparently. Substantive updates include a clear editor's note detailing what was modified and when.
