Publication
Editorial Standards & Review Policy
A practical account of how Recycled Respawn creates, reviews, discloses, and corrects its work.
Authorship
Published writing attributed to ZachTheElk is genuinely authored by Zach. AI tools may assist with research, organization, editing, critique, formatting, coding, and quality assurance, but they do not manufacture Zach-attributed published prose.
Imagery
Permanent editorial imagery and branding do not use AI-generated artwork.
Reviews
Reviews live within Gaming. Recycled Respawn will not use a traditional 1–10 review score. A Recycled Respawn-specific recommendation/verdict system is not yet finalized; its terminology and presentation will be tested against real reviews before being standardized. Redundant category-by-category sub-scores and overlapping rating systems are avoided.
Independence
Review copies or access do not guarantee coverage, and they never guarantee positive coverage. Editorial conclusions remain independent. Publishers and developers do not receive pre-publication approval of independent editorial copy.
Disclosures
Material support is disclosed when relevant, including review copies, hardware, travel, sponsorship, or other meaningful consideration. Sponsored content is acceptable only when clearly labeled and kept distinct from independent editorial work. Affiliate links may be used with clear disclosure.
Corrections
Material corrections remain visible rather than being silently rewritten. Significant revisions may include an updated date or explanatory note. Ordinary spelling, punctuation, and grammar fixes do not require a correction notice.
