Something must be done about the shitcoin scam reply bots and that is NOT telling everybody to block them.

Send deletion event with vote system to relays.
If X votes has been sent to a relay, the relay delete all events from the specified pubkey (scammer) + ban all futures events from this pubkey.
Not perfect. It requires a specific action for each account.
Or a centralized list of scammer pubkeys. Not perfect because it's centralized.
It's a problem nostr:npub1f7f97y6acfg03rus6u3kffa6cjxxnx4gjj239u3a4v8pwn0n6vsqkl5eup can resolve.
PoW on replies
Zap to reply, or a history of having zapped a user to reply? Perhaps the requirement for a linked wallet which could be checked for a sat balance before one can reply, and users could turn this on or off in their accounts. Just throwing some ideas around, maybe there is something in there.
Opt in block lists? Some could be community managed, others could be managed by clients, or other service providers.
That sounds reasonable to me.
Relay side forced censorship is not reasonable.
Absolutely.
I thought this was part of the benefits by using paid relays. Are you getting spam on paid only?
High cost of entry at scale makes blocking meaningful.
On a free relay, you simply cannot block faster than the bots can spin up a new account.
Relays can ban the word Airdrop. Nobody is airdropping Bitcoin 😂
100%
But there are plattforms that reward you with satoshis via Lightning for playing!

Thank me later!
Vould the relays auto-correct their stock messages to something based or at least funny and self-deprecating?
A NIP to impose rate limits at the relay level for npubs posting the same message repeatedly. This should do away with most of it.
Still less spam than other platforms, its all about perspective.
relays could check the history of the replier (and maybe reputation)
Comeon man, I'm just trying to get my free shitcoins. /s
Agree to a certain extent but spam bots and AI bots will always get one step ahead of us plebs.
Providing the user doesn’t see them, who cares if the majority of comments are spam.
It’s a bit like a spam email inbox where majority goes to junk. The user doesn’t care about the junk inbox, they only care about the inbox. Providing the inbox is majority clean, the spam box could be a gazillion and the user wouldn’t care.
It’s more about the memory storage or relays handling the spam which for me is the question…
Keywords / Hashtags filtering. Preferably client side.
I think we should fight back
ture, dude.
Micro payment groups.
PoW, proof of burn, or payment for relay access and PoW to reply. Solving by heuristics at a relay level is difficult.
Mutes are just a list - why not tell clients to implement the ability to pull mutes fro additional lists that a user may pick, allowing a community approach to filtering on one side?
On the other... I guess good implementations or methods to filter incomming posts; mainly thinking of strfry's WritePolicy stuff.
Stats on what relays have the most and least of them could be useful to help pick relays.
Proof of work must be done.
