This note does not have a content warning. Guess it makes it an even better test of clients' moderation features! Quick everyone, mute @Jameson Lopp so his WoT score goes below zero.
Just kidding, but it does pose an interesting scenario: what if someone with high trust loses their mind? How quickly could they organically be demoted from people's feeds?

Right, I flagged the images as sensitive rather than the note. Sounds like there's a mismatch in expectations.
I suspect from what we've seen happen on other social networks, followers are incredibly sticky and even if someone goes insane, they won't meaningfully lose much of the attention directed toward them.
What client is this? I don't know what it means to flag images, there's nothing in the event itself, and I see you're using multiple image hosts.

Checkout my imagination of WOT user experience:
… in your scenario “mute” wd act as a “trustworthy down vote”, wherein if enough of your followers “muted jameson” then he MAY cease to be marked as “trustworthy” (for you) and you MAY be notified (depending on your WOT filter settings) of this change.
IMHO, “WOT filter” needs to be its own NIP, to provide a protocol for other NIP filters and a definition for consistent client UX.
Thoughts?
Imagine Webs of Trust (WOT) with me:
This is how Nostr will fend off bots and bad actors. Your “trusted” follows (and possibly their trusted follows) will comprise your personal trust network. It will be your WALL from which undesired content can be avoided and new friends can be included.
#followed < #trustworthy < #trusted
- “Trusted” accounts will be relative to your account, and always chosen by you. Any account can be marked as “trusted”.
- “Trustworthy” will be suggested by your “WOT filters” which will be configureable on your profile. (And extended by NIPs)
- “Followed” will be your baseline (as it currently is) for accounts “of interest”chosen by you.
- “Recommended” accounts (that you do not follow) MAY be available for you to consider for following or trusting, based on your WOT settings.
In the end your WOT filters will keep YOU in charge of your own web of trust. This will determine the accounts that you interact with AND the accounts that YOUR followers see as “trustworthy” or “recommended”.
QUESTION FOR YOU:
#asknostr
What “filters” would YOU like to have for “trustworthy” or “recommended” accounts to be suggested?

I don't think WoT needs a NIP, this is something clients can do differently without hurting interoperability.
