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.
Automatic tags, clients would add systematically:
* Npub has a lighting address
* Npub's number of human verification tags from trusted taggers and their trusted taggers
* Npub's number of scam promotions, according to trusted taggers and their trusted taggers
* Npub's numbers of each type of prediction tag, according to trusted taggers and their trusted taggers
* Npub is a humanoid spammer, according to [other npub, prioritizing closest in web of trust]
* Npub is an ad spammer, according to [other npub, prioritizing closest in web of trust]
* Npub is a flood spammer, according to [other npub, prioritizing closest in web of trust]
* Npub was accused of gaslighting by [other npub, prioritizing closest in web of trust]
* Npub's number of discussions abandoned, according to trusted taggers and their trusted taggers
