Submission Policy

Poly Track accepts that community maps are a major part of the library, but community origin does not remove the need for editorial standards. A submission should give enough context to verify the map, describe who made it, and explain why it belongs in the library.

What A Strong Submission Includes

The best submissions include a working track code, the creator name or handle when available, a clear suggested category, and a short note about what the map is trying to teach or test.

  • Working track code
  • Creator name or community handle
  • Suggested category and difficulty
  • One short explanation of why the map is worth reviewing

What We Reject Or Downgrade

Submissions can be rejected or kept as archive-only listings when attribution is missing, the code does not load reliably, or the map does not yet have a clear player lesson.

  • Broken or unverifiable codes
  • Misleading creator attribution
  • Pages that still need complete route notes

Copyright And Corrections

If a creator identifies a listing problem, attribution issue, or rights concern, we review the request and can update, downgrade, or remove a page while the issue is resolved. Community submissions do not override creator ownership.

  • We can revise creator credit when better information is supplied.
  • We can remove a listing while a copyright dispute is reviewed.
  • Editorial publication is not guaranteed by submission alone.

How We Review A New Map

A submitted map is checked for basic load reliability, attribution clarity, category fit, and whether the route can be explained in useful player language. A working code is necessary, but it is not enough by itself.

The strongest submissions include a short creator note about the intended lesson. That note helps us understand whether the map is a warm-up, a technical control test, a flow route, a novelty challenge, or a creator experiment that needs a specific kind of player.

  • We check whether the code loads consistently.
  • We look for a clear driving lesson or reason to recommend the map.
  • We prefer creator context over anonymous reposts whenever possible.
