 if u stop the Hello DAN note calling it SPAM (best is mute it at end user level such whiteHAT testing notes) then u essentially partly KYC or STOP ALL NPUBS from posting with WoT near 0 and not giving them opportunity to build WoT slowly

 It only makes sense to identify something as spam, at the relay level, when it's an obvious pattern. So, one Hello DAN note is not spam, but 20 of them probably is.

 correct ! it is perfectly imitating a new user and checking testing OPEN relay and doing us a service

 Agree about the WoT problem, as I set it to 2 and had to dig some real npubs back out of the hidden notes. They were just newbies.

Now, I'm opening all the hidden notes, to be sure, so it defeats the purpose, as I'm staring at bot notes all day. 😂

 Lowered it to 1. See if that helps.

 best way find new fresh genuine npubs is to browse "global of each relay" and ignore any note NOT suitable to EACH ONE's TASTE n likings - so simple. WoT filter replies from junkies in conver. threads (also nostr global or anythign else similar NOT for Kids without parental guidance.)

 Yeah, but you have to turn the WoT down to -3 or so, to really get everyone in global. Can always turn it back up again, later.

 Global is nothing for ladies, either, to be honest. I usually wait for the guys to find people and then I follow their follows over WoT.

I use them as feed bouncers. 🤭
