About
Contribute to Glitchive
Contributions begin as case leads or proposed solutions and follow a defined editorial review before anything can be published.

How to submit
Case leads go through the submission page. A proposed solution is submitted from the case it responds to, using the form on that case’s page. Neither form needs an account.
Case leads
A case submission is a lead or tip, not a draft for publication. The editorial team researches the material and writes the AFL-#### case file. Contributors are not expected to submit finished prose.
Proposed solutions
A solution submission proposes a response to a case already in the library. A case can have no more than 10 published solutions and closes to further solution submissions when it reaches that limit.
Published solutions appear in publication order only. There are no upvotes, endorsements, experience counters, popularity rankings, or contributor reputation scores.
Information the form collects
Each submission includes its kind, a title, a structured payload, and a client token; a solution submission also names the case it responds to. A contact email and credit name are optional. The form also records a salted hash of the submitter’s IP address only for rate-limiting, and Cloudflare Turnstile protects every submission form. No account or registration is required.
Editorial review
Nothing is published automatically. Every submission is reviewed by a person and ends with a ruling of accepted, rejected, or spam. The ruling is one-way and is not revisited on request. Every rejection includes a written reason. No response time is guaranteed.
Acceptance and publication
Acceptance does not mean publication. An accepted lead may never become a case, and that is a normal outcome. No publication timeline is promised.
Credit and retention
A contributor may provide a credit name, but anonymous contribution is permitted. For submissions marked rejected or spam, the contact email is deleted automatically after 90 days. The record is retained so the project can count what it turned down.
