A report is a kind 1984 event that signals to users and relays that
some referenced content is objectionable. The definition of objectionable is
obviously subjective and all agents on the network (users, apps, relays, etc.)
may consume and take action on them as they see fit.
The content MAY contain additional information submitted by the entity
reporting the content.
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 jurisdictionspam- spamimpersonation- someone pretending to be someone elseother- for reports that don't fit in the above categories
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 to support
further qualification and querying.

}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.
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.
