Editorial Policy
Selection criteria
Mulligan Monster considers public websites, tools, databases, guides, courses, communities, and references that help a defined audience complete a useful task. An editor considers the official destination, clarity of purpose, accessibility, relevance to an Atlas topic, apparent maintenance, important limitations, and whether the resource adds value beyond existing listings.
Inclusion is selective and does not constitute an endorsement, certification, safety guarantee, or promise that a resource is suitable for every user. A resource may be omitted because its purpose is unclear, its destination is unsafe or inaccessible, its value duplicates an existing listing, or the Atlas lacks enough source-grounded context to describe it responsibly.
Review process
Public suggestions, registered discovery sources, and editorial ideas enter private workflows. Automated discovery is disabled unless an administrator explicitly enables it. Link monitoring may report availability, but it does not publish, rank, delete, or unpublish content.
Before publication, an editor must verify the destination, write original summary and limitation text, assign relevant topics and taxonomies, complete required SEO metadata, set a review date, and pass the Atlas quality gate. Publication and search indexing are separate decisions. Editorial releases requiring owner approval are recorded in the private Approvals dashboard.
Corrections and updates
Editors may revise summaries, limitations, destinations, relationships, or indexing choices when a resource changes. Repeated link failures are held for human review. Resources are not automatically removed solely because one request fails.
Visitors may suggest corrections through the resource submission form. Material corrections should be documented in editorial notes or the appropriate approval record.
Commercial disclosures
Payment, sponsorship, affiliate relationships, commissions, ownership, employment, or another material relationship must be disclosed during submission and editorial review. A commercial relationship must not bypass the same destination, usefulness, limitation, and quality checks applied to other resources.
Mulligan Monster does not currently sell placement or automatically rank resources based on payment. Any future advertising, affiliate, or sponsorship program requires a separate policy update and owner approval before launch.
No automatic publication
No feed, public submission, algorithm, paid service, or generated output may publish Atlas content automatically. Editors remain responsible for public claims, destinations, relationships, metadata, and indexing decisions.
