Not for the semicolon spammer unfortunately: he spams responses (passively), so he's quite economical.

Solution to that would be convincing relays to only give out the notes for the requested geohash tags. So the spammer would have to request

them all or spam every channel actively.

No idea where he’s from but what it means is that he’s found a loophole in the current design which he is exploiting aggressively.

Thankfully, at least he’s just using it to be annoying. There’s probably far more nefarious uses for his approach, but his persistence will hopefully ensure that this gets fixed before people figure those out.
