I have a question: Is there a possibility to "disable" the automatic creation of new classes? because if I understand the documentation right, then it would be possible for any user to spam my model with new classes.

Note that, as far as I can see, Classes are a SDK convenience but the data itself is completely schemaless as far as the Parse backend is concerned.

I've wondered about this aspect of Parse for months but not seen a satisfactory answer yet. With the client-side credentials for a Parse app readily available, a malicious user could store any amount and type of data in that app's store, with that app footing the bill.

The easiness of hacking the existing data (say, your SpaceBucks premium currency in a game) is a secondary concern, but it's valid to say that for that extra level of security you need your own servers and logic, and Parse is not the right service.
