How do you report a cheating launch?

@jason_andries1 I'm guessing you're referring to this one from yesterday, right? https://www.producthunt.com/post... From what it seems to me, PH first penalized them (probably noticed something fishy in the momentum they were gaining) and then gave them back the votes, which leads me to believe that maybe they could have been legit, that's just when they activated their launch tactic. Usually, PH representatives suspect that a launch is not agreeing to the policy, they will contact the founders during a launch and talk to them about what's going on. It's sad that some PH products do usually have a bigger advantage than most. Products that are used by communities/groups (where founders can easily tap into their client communities with perks and get votes) and the obvious AI/GPT trend going on. Sadly, this product had both and it makes it damn near impossible to come ahead of something like this when they're active in their launch. As for the report, I've used the chat function previously and I know that some founders are in direct contact with PH reps via email.

This is sad. People work really hard for their launch and then products like these just cheat and take the spot. Do let us know what response you get from PH.

There's a report option at the bottom of the launch page (just before the stats section), you can use it to report the launch!
