Abuse of the platform

[Lebyy]

Hello there! I saw some people making this discord bot called project uptimer so basically what it does is ping your project every 5 mins with your IP address and makes the project not go to sleep so I wanted to report them and didn’t know where to go.

You could email try emailing Glitch support at support@glitch.com.

What if the project is private?

Then you can’t report the project. Glitch should probably fix something like this. A good idea would be if the project was not boosted people could report it, if they saw the project for themselves first.

Short version:
Nobody else can see the project then except for the moderators and the visitors. Then the visitors report the project.

Email is always your best bet.

Not really sure this is a good idea. So now only boosted people can report projects? Seems a bit silly to me.

We really need a custom header…

Glitch needs a custom header

For security, glitch needs a custom header. The reasoning behind this is that projects with custom domains can get around being reported as it is very tricky to tell if the project is on glitch or not. A custom header would reveal that the website uses glitch as a host. Glitch could possibly use a header such as X-Hosted-By or maybe use a X-Powered-By (although Express uses this, it would not be that hard to remove)

Go vote !
