That's how they find kiddie porn and stuff. Through reports.

I see. It's good to know.
But in this case (and future cases)is there a relay owner reviewing these reports and countering fake reports? Is this all an automated process?
Reports are basically only used by clients (amethyst) and only if the people doing the reporting are followed by people who follow you (afaik).
My relay does not use them. I check my own relay for things like CP. We do not censor people for pissing other people off.
Every relay operator can do things differently, but as far as I can tell, almost no relays action reports in an automated way.
Thank you for the explanation. I think I remember now that about amethyst, but these reports shouldn't really affect anything if theyre weird spam accounts? Although there is a fair amount of 'follow4follow' culture on nostr for this to potentially be a problem🤔?
That's a relief. Then that's at least two relays they can't get me banned from.
Some of them, unfortunately, are followed by people who follow me. This is the sort of thing that has caused me to stop recommending people follow everyone back. WoT doesn't work if you follow spammers, bots, and nutjobs.

I think you're following some spam.
Yeah, but it's work to go through the list to unfollow. If I see them post something spammy I unfollow/mute
I do not remember following nostr:npub1ne45gs70xrhft5rul0an0uf8fuu0j5944cueqrg5p3m6yxdjwkcs0rgy04 but I guess I will unfollow!
I found the nsec. Its:

(Just remove the spaces and you, too, can control this spam account!)
No problem. Do you have a membership with my relay? If not I will add you free of charge.
I aim to be as transparent as possible. You can see the terms of service for my relay in its full here: https://github.com/TheSameCat2/thesamecat-relay-tos
Starting at the heading “Nice legalese, but what will get me blacklisted” I explain my stance on free-speech.
I'm already on it. Of course. It's my favorite.
I actually get reported sometimes, by people who don't like my opinion or who think they're being funny, but I've never had someone use fake accounts for it before.
I didn't even know you get notified of reports 🤔
Where do you see this? I know I can see my reports (of spambots) but wasn't aware of a way of seeing if I've been reported
I think Alex Gleason was having some annoying threats and interactions recently too
I think these might be the same people.
