At The Creative Blok, our mission is to highlight the voices, stories, and projects of creators within the game development and creative community. We believe in ethical content creation. This document outlines our policy regarding interviews, features, content contributions, and related editorial practices.
Section 1: Interview & Feature Policy Disclaimer
1.1 Voluntary Participation
All interviews and feature stories are conducted on a voluntary basis. Creators are under no obligation to participate, and they retain full control over what they choose to share.
1.2 Modest Honorarium
Honorariums may be offered on a case-by-case basis, at our discretion, depending on the article format, content needs, and the nature of the participation. When provided, the honorarium is intended as a token of appreciation for the creator’s time and contribution—not as payment for promotion or specific opinions. Rates are shared individually when applicable and if offered.
1.3 Editorial Standards
Interview responses are published as authentically as possible. Minor edits may be made for grammar, clarity, or formatting, but we do not alter the creator’s intent or insert editorial bias. Creators may review their final responses prior to publication upon request.
1.4 Rights & Redistribution
This clause is directed to creators or developers who have been featured: All interview and feature content published by The Creative Blok, whether in written or video format, the intellectual property of the blog and may not be republished, redistributed, or reproduced in full without prior written permission. Featured creators may share direct links to their published interviews and use brief excerpts with credit to The Creative Blok for promotional purposes. We encourage readers to share links to published articles on social platforms. This helps preserve content integrity and value to our readers.
1.5 Clear Attribution
All interviews will include proper attribution and direct links to the creator’s game, project, portfolio, or professional platform.
1.6 Transparency in Publication
If a creator and/or developer receives an honorarium, this will be disclosed in the published article to maintain transparency and credibility with our readers.
1.7 Confidentiality Measures
Any information disclosed during the interview process that is clearly marked or communicated as confidential will not be published. We respect the privacy of creators and understand that some details may be under NDA or sensitive.
Section 2: Content Contributor Guidelines
2.1 Contributor Eligibility
We welcome guest submissions from developers, designers, artists, educators, and thought leaders in the game development space. Contributors must have demonstrable experience or insight relevant to the topic they propose.
2.2 Originality & Ownership
All submitted content must be original and not previously published elsewhere unless explicitly stated and approved. By submitting content, contributors grant The Creative Blok the right to publish and promote the article, with proper credit.
2.3 Ethical Considerations
Content must reflect ethical standards, avoid misinformation, and respect community guidelines. Any claims, statistics, or opinions should be backed by credible sources or personal expertise.
2.4 Editorial Review
Submitted content is subject to editorial review for quality, formatting, and alignment with our brand voice. We may suggest revisions or edits prior to approval.
2.5 Reuse & Promotion
Contributors may share links to their published article and use brief excerpts with proper credit. Full reposting on external blogs or platforms requires prior written permission.
Policy Updates
This policy is subject to change without prior notice. We may update our content, interview, and contributor guidelines as needed to reflect evolving standards, editorial goals, or legal requirements. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed of any updates.
