Tier list maker content policy

Tier List Maker Content and Image Policy

Public pages must answer a real ranking question, include a usable board, explain their scope, and pass image and source checks.

Index

Reviewed templates with unique intent, complete images, useful context, and a current source note.

Noindex

Local makers, friend challenges, Daily retention pages, drafts, and other non-acquisition states.

Image state

Each public asset records its source, rights review, export state, and commercial clearance.

Hold or remove

Incomplete, duplicated, unverified, or disputed content stays out of search or is removed.

What tier list maker pages are indexed

A public page needs one clear query, a playable board, a unique roster, complete image coverage, useful ranking guidance, a source or method, and a meaningful freshness note. The Pokemon tier list template catalog links only to pages that meet that release gate.

What stays local or noindex

Personal boards, the blank local Maker, friend challenge links, and Daily retention mechanics do not create public search pages. A user moving items in a browser is not enough reason to publish a new URL.

Image sources and commercial rights

Every public asset keeps a source and explicit rights state. Restricted images can serve as low-resolution identifiers only when the source record and publication decision are preserved. They are not described as commercially cleared. Ads, paid export features, or licensed redistribution require a separate rights review.

What content automation may discover

Automation may monitor permitted public sitemaps, RSS feeds, and official announcements to create candidate records. It may not copy, synonymize, translate, or republish a competitor's tier list, explanation, or visual assets. Discovery does not grant permission and does not publish a page automatically.

Correction and removal handling

A verified correction updates the source record, roster or copy, update date, and sitemap metadata together. A disputed image or unsupported claim is held out of publication or removed from the next static release rather than left live with a cosmetic disclaimer.
