 Relay Admins, 

Block the following IP's that t he Nostr spammer is using

178.249.214.0/24
149.40.50.0/24
37.19.200.0/24
37.19.210.0/24 
 Good luck blocking all my vpns 
 I think the only effective way to avoid these harassers is build a reputation system based on web of trust concepts  
 That is a looser way.
No other dececntralized tool acts this way.
Nostr devs made relays open spam boxes due to bad design decisions
 
 How would you deal with them if they use multiple VPNs or tor connections? Your method can only alleviate a little  the problem, web of trust is more effective  
 Log patterns, like with Reply Guy.
WoT is for Clients.  
YOu need to stop the data from entering the relay. Otherwise relays are silently attacked until the node crashes 

 
 Actually it has a wot implementation in relay level
