Editorial policy

What CloudTop100 publishes, what it refuses, and how mistakes get fixed.

1. Source material

Article bodies are written from primary sources only: official announcements, government and corporate filings, legislation and reference works. Press articles and community posts are cited by title and link only; their text, images and comments are never reproduced.

2. The community list

The hot list shows a title, link, source and time. The original opens on the community that hosts it. Where we have written our own recap of the same topic we link that first and keep the original link alongside. Paid or sponsored board posts are excluded.

3. Use of AI

AI drafts, translates and illustrates. Every page passes automated source, plagiarism and risk checks before publication, and drafts flagged as risky are held until a person reviews them. Generated images are labeled as AI-generated in the caption.

4. Separating advertising from editorial

Articles containing affiliate links carry a disclosure at the top, and affiliate widgets carry their required notice directly above the unit. Advertisers and affiliate partners have no influence on content, and we do not remove a product's drawbacks because a commission is involved.

5. What we will not cover

We do not publish private individuals' identifying details, the identity of victims or suspects, sexual content, matters involving minors, or unverified accusations. Investing articles never recommend buying or selling a specific security or state a price target, and we do not give medical or legal advice.

6. Corrections and takedowns

Tell us at contact@cloudtop100.com if something is wrong. Confirmed errors are corrected in place with a note of what changed and when. Copyright and defamation takedown requests go to the same address; we respond within three business days.
