Hi! So I’ve been noticing that the hosts hosting my projects have been getting banned kinda frequently. Does anyone know when this could stop happening as much or maybe stop?
@IH8M2 says this might help
Discord bot not connecting or 429 status code

So that happens if I go over 1000 logins an hour? I’ve at most logged in 12 times in one hour.
Not sure but if you want you could try my simple method, since it doesnt require any effort (just adding 1 simple line) and see if it helps you.
Discord and glitch always have had some problems with each other so at some point we’ll run out of solutions, but the easiest one is remixing the project, deleting the old one and using the new one.
Good luck!
Remixing may seem like abuse. Also there is a small chance you end up on the same IP due to IP changing twice everyday
Thats true but, letting the staff move the project to a new host isnt quite the fastest method.
I’d rather not remix every time this happens. I’m just hoping it will stop happening as much.
IP bans are not your fault*, and there isn’t much you can do about them. They are caused by people who use glitch to abuse the Discord APIs.
*unless you spam

Would love it if @glitch_support could get into contact with Discord to sort out a better solution for Glitch projects that are spamming on Discord. I am sure Discord would be happy to identify if a bot that is spamming is a Glitch project and send something over to Glitch for them to deal with that individual project. Would make life a lot easier round here on the forum and for others who have their projects banned for no reason

about 100-500, I think, projects use the same IP so there is no project IP it would be server IP
here’s an idea,also check out We need to fix the discord ban mega-thread whenever a discord request is sent add a request header like project: projectname to tell discord which project is using it’s api and discord can send the names of the bad projects for glitch to suspend. Problem is with https it’s hard to change the headers because of encryption.
Whoa there. It is not really necessary now, because it is hard to ping projects
I don’t think merging with a multi million dollar website is necessary. But what they can do, is grab the token and suspend it. It would be a lot easier.

shouldn’t they just ban the bot or give a warning to the dev?

Banning the bot would be a good idea, however, the owner could just use their server to make a new one. Banning the server in theory is more efficient.

Ban the developer’s account? Log the developers ip when they make a token and ban the ip? Lots of options.
That’s the method I thought of. Not IPs as that isn’t a thing. I never said they would use the IPs to identify

Why log the developer’s IP?
So if they come back to create a new token with the same IP they can’t cause they spammed. (yes, I know there are simple ways to get around this, but that’s the same for banning the host IP too)

Instead of sending extra properties like project name or user name etc, Glitch can add the X-Forwarded-For header. And Discord could trust the Glitch’s proxy. That way Glitch could determine which users are bad and which are good.
That is a potential much easier method of doing it, because Discord already have trusted proxies. Adding Glitch’s is a small task.

That’s a bad idea because IP address ban can result in a lot of people being baned because of IP sharing. At some point there was a whole country with the same IP address… You can do IP rate limits but not IP bans.
That must be a really small country.
Anyway, IP bans is actually rather genius. However I blame Glitch for the Glitch IP bans. I believe it is in Glitch’s place to make sure that no malicious bot on Glitch. If they find a malicious bot they should suspend the project and ban the user by their IP address and/or their HWID if they have that, also ban their social media accounts.

I doubt Discord would put in the effort to do that since they don’t really gain anything from it.
As @ihack2712 said, depending on the way they implement it, it would probably be a simple task, but you are probably right and they probably won’t care. Worth a try though as if they do implement it, it would be great for Glitch

These bans are so annoying. Almost all my bots got banned. Maybe they can put like a button in the editor that requests to be moved to a new server so it’s faster and bots can get back on faster since it goes straight to the staff.
Like when everything is sort of getting back to normal boom IP banned and it’s offline.
Remember this can also happen from people editing projects
And it is nor required to ban the account. That just sounds selfish. Just because people over ping discord, doesn’t mean They’re malicious
Discord won’t ban bots for “over pinging”. Discord specifically targets bots that abuses their systems, imagine how many popular bots would be banned if “over pinging bans” were a thing.

But still I got banned once for just editing too much.
So I’d stay careful of that.
That might be because the project is refreshing, so you’ll have logged in more than 1k times within the hour. That’s a bannable offense.
My point exactly.
I just found out how to post under 20 chars
Although that isn’t over pinging, just disable refreshing for javascript files ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wha- how?? how is that possible
I just typed the message, then put <thxglitch> after.
Or use _ under your post.
Tbh I’m perfectly fine with the pinging services banned thing. As soon as I saw that I bought premium for a year. All that’s taking my bots offline currently is pretty much just discord banning ips. Just wish people wouldn’t abuse. Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Ok I’m at the point where my bot is getting banned every 5 days. I’m not sure if I can stay on glitch anymore.
