there is someone out there in the nostrverse who is running a bot that is polling relays that have no auth sequentially with very small time windows for 0, 2, 3 and 10002 events (profile metadata, recomended relay, follow list and relay list)

may i suggest that you revise your script so it first tries a COUNT over the total time window you are scanning for, because actually some relays do implement that

it's annoying me because i had disabled auth and removed the "owner" pubkey (which gives the follows for allowed access with auth and mute for blocked  to save events) and after relay was running a minute or two, there it is

someone is clearly trying to gather a directory of stuff on nostr, running a dumb bot that is polling every relay URL it can get its hands on (and those events especially 2 and 10002 will feed it even more)

little tip

there is a relay now that can require auth to query or publish, even if nobody is explicitly allowed or banned, it just requires auth

you can actually just make up keys to sign auths with and bug me also when i set auth on except you won't get in because you aren't on my follow list and if you were i would remove you
