UPDATE POST, NOT BOT

This post is regarding disallowing proxies. I'll explain my decision here and why.

Let's get it out of the way: I am disallowing proxies on my bots.

First, let me explain what disallowing the use of proxies does;

Proxies (or reversed proxies) can be used to steal bot definitions, even ones that are hidden. This is how that one particular site (which I shall not name, but I'm sure you know it), is able to scrape definition so easily before. Some other AI sites make use of proxies to steal definitions as well.

Why am I so concerned over this?

Because my bots have been stolen before. They've been put up in other sites and while I'd go through the work to get them taken down, I feel as though I shouldn't need to and thought this would be easier for me who barely has time to sit down and make a lot of bots anyway. I've seen one of my biggest projects back then be stolen and put on another site.

I've also seen my definitions reuploaded here as well.

I'd reconsider not doing it if I knew there were a large percentage of my followers here that use proxies, so you are free to say if you do in the review, or share any of your opinions. Just also remember if you use other API or reverse proxy that are not OpenAI and JLLM that they'll be making other APIs and proxies available to use in the future.

Before you share your opinions, here's some more answers to questions and statements I've seen people have:

Does disallowing proxies actually make a difference?
Yes. It does. If you know about that site I mentioned, then you'd know that they'd take even hidden definitions. That could have only been possible if they used something like a proxy.

But won't people still be able to steal your bots?
Yes, but my thought process is that I should take any provided method to prevent my work from being stolen.

It's ridiculous to be so overprotective over your bots
I am a writer, first and foremost. Before becoming a bot creator I wrote stories and were furiously overprotective over them. Bot creating requires creativity; how else would you have come up with a scenario and the initial message? If I am allowed to secure my writing then I should be allowed to do the same for the bots that I've written.

How am I able to use your bots now if proxies have been disabled?
Use OpenAI or JLLM. Wait for other APIs to be added as official APIs for JanitorAI. Or just use a different creator's bots. There are so many other creators. A whole banquet has been prepared for you, don't stick to one dish.

For fellow creators; Is it worth it still to disable proxies when you have definitions on public?
Yes. Other sites mass-rip definition from the site automatically so this is one way to keep your bot safe. The question as to whether you should or should not though, I cannot answer. That decision should be influenced by your preference.

Again, feel free to express any opinions in the review section. However, I will delete any reviews that are straight up inappropriate.

Now that that it's done, here's some updates and other announcements:

For my followers specifically; If you are upset by this change still, I am also considering the idea of creating cards for ST to distribute to you. This is one thing you could look forward to I suppose. But if I am positive about doing so though I may not be able to do so immediately.

In case you do not know, I also create guides such as the bot-making resources doc and the CSS guide that has been circling around. I am working on updating those and if you want a link to them, look in my bio. My own profile is a work in progress as well.

Also will be making a carrd.

And lastly; next bots I will b
