Source Policy

This page explains where we get our information, how we rate sources, and how our automated and manual verification processes work. We believe transparency about data origins helps readers trust what they find here.

Source Categories

Every piece of information on this site is traced to one of the following source categories. The category determines how we handle, label, and present the data.

Automated Data Collection

We run automated scanners that check multiple external sources on a regular cadence. These scanners collect candidate data that then goes through a verification step before publication.

Scan cadence

Data type

Scan frequency

What happens after scan

Game codes

Every 6 hours

New candidates are flagged for manual confirmation before appearing as active codes

Update signals

Every 6 hours

Patch notes and version changes are logged and cross-referenced

Manual Verification Process

Automated collection gives us candidates. Manual verification determines what gets published. Our verification process follows these steps:

Candidate collected — An automated scanner detects a potential new code, update, or data point from a tracked source.
Source checked — The original source is reviewed for credibility. A code appearing on multiple trackers carries more weight than one appearing on a single, unknown site.
Cross-referenced — Where possible, information is checked against at least one additional independent source.
In-game verification (where possible) — For codes, we attempt to redeem them in-game. For mechanics, we test them. Items confirmed this way are labelled "verified in-game."
Published or held — Confirmed items are published. Unverifiable items are held in a candidate queue for re-check.

Source Trust Framework

We assign every source a trust rating based on its track record, transparency, and update reliability. These ratings determine how much weight we give to information from that source.

Rating

Criteria

Sources at this level

High

Consistent accuracy history, transparent about updates, no pattern of publishing unverified claims

Roonby, GamesRadar, in-game confirmation

Medium

Generally reliable but occasionally includes speculation or delayed updates

Community wikis, VL Guide, Pro Game Guides

Low (facts)

Useful for discovery and trends but not authoritative for factual claims

YouTube creators, individual social media posts

Authoritative

Official source — any information from this level overrides all others

Official Roblox group, developer announcements

Data Provenance Tracking

For every published data point, we maintain provenance information that answers three questions:

Where did this come from? — The original source URL, source category, and date first observed.
How was it verified? — The verification method used (cross-reference, in-game test, official confirmation).
When was it last confirmed? — The most recent date the information was re-checked and still found to be accurate.

This provenance data is stored in our content management pipeline and used to automatically flag items that have not been re-confirmed within their expected validity window.

Source Lifecycle Management

Sources are not static. We continuously monitor the sources we rely on and adjust their trust ratings as their reliability changes.

Source onboarding

New sources go through a probationary period where their output is compared against verified data before being assigned a trust rating.

Source review

Every tracked source is reviewed monthly. If a source's accuracy drops or its update cadence becomes unreliable, its trust rating is adjusted accordingly.

Source retirement

Sources that go offline, stop updating, or demonstrate a pattern of inaccuracy are retired. Retired sources are removed from our scanning pipeline but their historical data may remain in provenance logs.

Transparency & Accountability

We maintain a log of every source we track, its trust rating, and any rating changes over time. This log is available upon request through the contact methods listed on our About page.

If you believe a source is misrepresented or if you have information about a source's reliability that we should consider, please let us know. We take source integrity seriously and investigate every report.
