Content Guidelines

Glubler is a small, positive place to collect websites worth keeping and share them with people you know. Almost everything on it is a link you chose to save, so most guideline problems never arise — there is no posting feed, no messaging, and no communities to moderate.

These guidelines cover the things you can bring onto Glubler: the websites you glue, what you name them, and what you write in comments. They sit alongside the Terms of Service, which are the binding document.

The Main Rule: Don't Glue Harmful Sites

Glubler is a link collection, so the only thing you can really "post" is a URL. That narrows the problem enormously, and it means the most important guideline is simply this:

Concretely, that means avoiding:

• Malware, spyware, or anything designed to compromise a device
• Phishing pages and fake login screens, including look-alike copies of banks or services you use
• Scams — get-rich-quick schemes, fake giveaways, romance and investment fraud
• Adult content, and anything that sexualises minors, which is illegal outright and will be referred where required
• Gambling and casino sites
• Illegal goods and services — drugs, weapons, counterfeit products, stolen accounts or data
• Hate content targeting people for who they are, and content inciting violence against them
• Harassment, or content targeting a named individual
• Content you do not have the right to share — see Terms of Service clause 2

What Glubler Blocks Automatically

You do not have to police this yourself. Every site you try to save is checked before it can be stored.

The blocklists cover adult content, gambling, phishing, and malware distribution. They are refreshed regularly, so a site that was harmless last month can be caught this one.

There is a second layer of checks on top of the blocklists. A website is also rejected when it:

• has no real page title
• serves a generic placeholder icon instead of its own
• is a redirect or cloaked landing page that does not match its domain

These are the same checks whichever way you add something — the website, the mobile app, the browser extension, a CSV import, or an MCP connection from an AI assistant. A blocked domain is refused at the point of saving, and Glubler does not store the site itself.

What You Should Avoid Gluing

Not everything harmful is blocklisted, and some legitimate sites are simply not worth putting in a collection. A short list of things that tend to cause trouble:

Avoid	Why
Paywalled or login-walled news	Your followers cannot open what you found useful, and it makes the collection look broken
Link shorteners	The destination is invisible, and the link often stops working
Mobile app deep links	They only resolve on a device with that app installed
Near-identical duplicates	A site is stored once across your account anyway, and repeated near-matches clutter a shared collection
Someone else's profile or private space	Collecting a person's account is not what the site is for, and can be unwanted attention
Sites you only used once	Not a rule, but worth asking. A collection of fifty things you will never revisit is not a useful collection.

Naming Things Well

Glubler does not read the contents of pages, so the title you give a collection is the main signal other people get. Two habits make a big difference:

• Name for the purpose, not the source. Kyoto in November tells someone whether to open it. Good websites does not.
• Use the site's own name for a single site. If you glue one article, let the article's title stand.

Choose a display name you are comfortable with. Offensive or vulgar screen names are not allowed, and while Glubler cannot read inside your collections, it can see the name you chose for them.

Comments and Conversations

You can comment on any website in Glubler. That is the only free-form text most people write here, so it is worth being deliberate about it.

• Comment on the website, not the person. "This site is not loading for me" is useful. Anything aimed at whoever linked it is not.
• Add something to the conversation. A relevant note about the site, or your own experience of it, is worth more than a bare link.
• No personal information about anyone else — not in a comment, a collection name, or a description.
• No spam, self-promotion loops, or repetitive posting.

Privacy

Two habits cover almost everything:

• Leave a collection private unless you meant to share it. Check Settings → Privacy & Data — Make profile public and Show my glublers to others.
• Do not glue a link to something private. Glubler stores the URL, not the contents, so a link to a document only you can see is harmless — but a link to a shared drive, a private album, or an unpublished draft is not, and once you have shared the collection it is out of your hands.

The Privacy Policy covers what Glubler stores and why, including the details of the automatic filtering described above.

If Something Goes Wrong

If a collection or a comment breaks these guidelines, Glubler may take any of the following steps, at its discretion and usually without prior notice:

• Remove the content
• Make a collection private, or stop it being shared
• Restrict an account temporarily
• Suspend an account, permanently in serious or repeated cases

Where content is illegal — most obviously anything sexualising a minor — Glubler will involve the appropriate authorities rather than only removing it.

These guidelines will change as the platform does, and as what is considered harmful online moves on. The version on this page is the current one.
