I've been thinking a bit about this.
The possibility of backdating could expose #nostr to innumerable possibilities of spam, confusion, astroturfing, etc.
We need to fix this.

Discussion
Consider what I call a "Spider-Men Attack" on #nostr: Create a copy of every npub, with their profile details etc, and publish every note (and other events) that they've ever published, using backdating so that the creation date looks the same. Of course, also duplicate who follows whom, etc.
Even now, people are confused by a single fake Will/jb55, imagine the clusterfuck when *everything* has a duplicate. How about 10 or 100 duplicates?
