Stop lying. The way to filter spam is with a human-tagging web of trust, as I've said a million times. You just want broken centralized shit instead, because you're a glowie.
The most-needed tags I know of off the top of my head, for a nostr tagging system. What others are needed? #asknostr


Tags people would tag by hand:

* Verified human
For npubs you have met face to face. Timestamped at time of verification. Used as a whitelist to filter bots.

* Trusted tagger
For npubs you trust not to abuse the tagging system. Could implement as a 0-100 score, or a priority list, instead of binary (this would also work for some other tags).

* Do not trust tagger
For npubs you've seen egregiously abusing the tagging system.

* Trusted truster
For npubs you trust to select other good npubs to trust.

* Promotes scam(s)
For posts or npubs that promote scams.

* Clear future prediction
For a post like "1 Bitcoin will be x USD on y date."

* Unclear/unresolvable/implied future prediction
For a post like "I think Bitcoin is done going down, but it can always surprise me."

* Correct prediction
Self-explanatory.

* Incorrect prediction
Self-explanatory.

* Unclear/unresolved past prediction
The timeframe has passed, but the prediction or outcome was too unclear to make a verdict.

* Humanoid spam
For people injecting topics everywhere, but not literally botspamming. A perfect example is me constantly talking about the need for a tagging system on nostr.

* Ad spam
Self-explanatory.

* Flood spam
Posts where the goal is just to attack a space (like a hashtag or reply section) and "clog" it.

* Gaslighting
Posts where the author attempts gaslighting.

* Discussion abandonment
Posts with replies the author has ignored, without good reason.
