The standard we hold ourselves to
A site is only as good as the process behind it. Here is ours for perawatan dan servis motor, written plainly so you can weigh the rest of the site against it.
Standards
Sourcing, checking, bylines, dates and commercial links, set out so you can judge what you read on Mekar Otomotif.
A site is only as good as the process behind it. Here is ours for perawatan dan servis motor, written plainly so you can weigh the rest of the site against it.
We do not plan an editorial calendar. Articles appear when a question has come up often enough to be worth answering properly.
Yes, some outbound links pay. What they pay for is the hosting bill, not the wording of the assessment sitting next to them.
A request to pull a criticism gets a flat no and a place in our records. Sometimes that request is more revealing than the thing complained about, and it says so in a later piece.
Published means published. We do not bump dates to look active, and an edit only changes the modified date when it changes what the article actually tells you to do.
Nothing is published anonymously. A name on a page means somebody can be asked about it later, and that is the only accountability a small site has.
Elzan Putra, Penulis diagnosa dan perawatan. Elzan naik motor setiap hari dan terbiasa membongkar sendiri keluhan ringan sebelum memutuskan apakah perlu dibawa ke bengkel. Ia menulis dari catatan servis pribadinya, lengkap dengan biaya dan waktu yang benar-benar dihabiskan.
Rangga Saputra, Penulis review dan panduan biaya. Rangga lebih banyak mengurus perbandingan dan angka: harga motor baru, biaya servis di berbagai bengkel, dan syarat kredit yang sering berubah. Ia menulis review model motor dengan gambaran biaya rawat jangka panjang, bukan cuma spesifikasi.
Pargabus Sakti, Penulis hiburan digital. Pargabus menulis sisi lain dari waktu luang rider: game online yang dimainkan saat motor sedang diservis atau menunggu hujan reda. Sudut pandangnya santai, dan ia selalu bilang kapan sebuah topik sebenarnya di luar keahlian utamanya.
