Editorial Policy

Poly Track is moving away from being a passive directory of map codes. The editorial layer exists to explain what a track teaches, who it helps, and why it deserves indexable coverage. We only treat a page as editorially publishable when it meets a clear quality threshold.

What We Include

We index tracks that have a completed editorial review, useful original guidance, and enough practical detail that a player can learn something before loading the map. We also keep many non-indexed tracks accessible so players can still browse and play them.

  • Published editorial review
  • Enough original guidance to explain why the track matters
  • Clear creator attribution when available

What We Do Not Feature

We do not feature tracks solely because they exist or because they have a valid code. Thin pages, placeholder reviews, and maps with incomplete editorial notes stay accessible but remain outside the sitemap and outside ad-eligible coverage.

  • Placeholder copy or unfinished review blocks
  • Maps with no meaningful editorial explanation
  • Pages that do not meet the current quality threshold

Corrections, Downgrades, and Removals

Editorial coverage can be revised when better creator attribution appears, when a track stops loading correctly, or when an older review no longer matches the page quality threshold. A page can also be downgraded from indexable status while remaining playable.

  • We correct factual mistakes when they are verified.
  • We can remove ads from pages that fall below the quality line.
  • We can downgrade or remove featured status when a better editorial standard is needed.
