Reporting
---------

`draft` `optional` `author:jb55`

A report is a `kind 1984` note that is used to report other notes for spam,
illegal and explicit content.

The `content` MAY contain additional information submitted by the entity
reporting the content.

Tags
----

The report event MUST include a `p` tag referencing the pubkey of the user you
are reporting.

If reporting a note, an `e` tag MUST also be included referencing the note id.

A `report type` string MUST be included as the 3rd entry to the `e` or `p` tag
being reported, which consists of the following report types:

- `nudity` - depictions of nudity, porn, etc.
- `profanity` - profanity, hateful speech, etc.
- `illegal` - something which may be illegal in some jurisdiction
- `spam` - spam
- `impersonation` - someone pretending to be someone else

Some report tags only make sense for profile reports, such as `impersonation`

`l` and `L` tags MAY be also be used as defined in [NIP-32](32.md) to support
further qualification and querying.

Example events
--------------

```json
{
  "kind": 1984,
  "tags": [
    ["p", <pubkey>, "nudity"]
    ["L", "social.nos.ontology"],
    ["l", "NS-nud", "social.nos.ontology"],
  ],
  "content": "",
  ...
}

{
  "kind": 1984,
  "tags": [
    ["e", <eventId>, "illegal"],
    ["p", <pubkey>]
  ],
  "content": "He's insulting the king!",
  ...
}

{
  "kind": 1984,
  "tags": [
    ["p", <impersonator pubkey>, "impersonation"]
  ],
  "content": "Profile is impersonating nostr:<victim bech32 pubkey>",
  ...
}
```

Client behavior
---------------

Clients can use reports from friends to make moderation decisions if they
choose to. For instance, if 3+ of your friends report a profile for `nudity`,
clients can have an option to automatically blur photos from said account.


Relay behavior
--------------

It is not recommended that relays perform automatic moderation using reports,
as they can be easily gamed. Admins could use reports from trusted moderators to
takedown illegal or explicit content if the relay does not allow such things.
