The Nerd Stash

Ethical Policies & Guidelines

TRUST AND CREDIBILITY

  • Companies may provide us with game codes, products, or other items to review on our website.  We do not allow the fact they were provided to sway us to give them a positive review.  Our reviews are 100% based on the writer’s true experience, and the final evaluation will reflect their unbiased opinion.  You can trust that we will write what we truly think!
  • News or Information provided will give credit to the source if it is not The Nerd Stash or one of its PR affiliates. We believe credit should be given where it is due!
  • Any opportunity that is presented to us with early access information (i.e. previews, reviews, or guides) will always honor the embargo. We make every effort to meet those restrictions, and we also do not want to spoil anything for our readers.
  • We do not want to be known as the website that spoils your favorite TV show, movie, or game. If we are writing about something that is a major spoiler, we will do our best to give warnings ahead so you don’t stumble into it by accident.
  • We do NOT provide payment to any of our sources.

RESPECT

Respect is very important to us as our success depends on you. The consequences of those decisions and how they will affect readers, clients, and partners are taken into great consideration.

We won’t all agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for disrespectful behavior. We will all experience frustration from time to time, but we cannot allow that frustration to become personal attacks. An environment where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive or creative one.

ACCURACY

  • Accuracy is important! All stories are checked to make sure they include accurate facts. If inaccuracies are found, they are corrected as soon as they are discovered.

For corrections or update requests, please contact [email protected].
