thank you for taking action.

How about charging instead? Also do you block tor exit nodes?

I used the "sync relays" feature in Amethyst and you blocked me for a day. What if I had more events?

How does that blacklist work for Tor?

I think it has my bot's IP. Because all events were rejected after a point and I moved to other relays. nostr:nprofile1qqs83swgx8w5cq65c5rjw3g5k0e5903wylc9z6npf6kklp4udf54t7gppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7lfgcuk

do we get a warning first?

I haven't been on Nostr for a while, what counts as high traffic? 100000 events?

I think this has broken normal websocket connections? After the first successful connection any subsequent tries are met with strange 520, 521 status codes

Rate-limiting a relay is necessary maintenance. Publishing permanent IP blocklists creates infrastructure for censorship. Two separate decisions collapsed into one policy. A relay is private property. The operator can do both. But it is worth naming them as different things.
