So what?

That has always been a case, spammers will likely use custom scripts that optimize the attack.

Nostr is basically an open notepad file that anyone can write to. There was a big spam attack today, sometimes even CP is spammed like crazy on Global.

"So what?" you say? That is not an appropriate answer to this problem. Relay admins have no tools or power to stop spam. Nothing is being done either to give admins control over their instances and the ability to fight back because they have your attitude of "that has always been a case"

All good points.

My point is that we shouldn't have to degrade the onboarding UX of a single client to fight the global spam problem.

These are two separate problems and should be addressed with dedicated tools, a solution is more usable, robust and automated relay management tools.
