Nostr Web Client

i think a bot is making these Nostr profiles and it should be banned on all relays. from the logs of my indexer daemon:

relay.damus.io: Inserted metadata for [9100..5cfb] cyber-cat-819e9419965b20528b5a583a67986014 (npub1jyq0nwu24lntc900mh24ps0qkvcjn6xyndsgvw79ese9yltwtnasw02ef8@nost.vip)

the name in the metadata content always starts with "cyber-cat-" and the domain for the NIP-05 field always ends in "@nost.vip"

filter.nostr.wine is supposed to filter out spam but it lets this through as well.

the relay merely needs to check for regex /^cyber-cat/ for the name and regex /@nost.vip$/ for the nip05 field to eliminate it.

By "profiles" do you mean it's publishing spam in event kind 0?

I could add it to my spam filter too if it's a problem.

the log says "metadata" which is kind 0.

my crawler logs use proper terminology for the different events, so i thought i didn't need to specify

Thanks! I just don't know why spam in a profile would be effective, or why a spammer would want to do that. But I kinda figured we would see it one day.
