There is very frequent cross-board spam which affects most of the NWS boards. This spam advertises child pornography, although the images it attaches don't necessarily contain any. If you janitor a porn board, you probably know how to handle this, but any other janitors might see it in their queue due to it receiving three or more illegal reports.

So I would like to stress to all janitors that if you see this spam, do NOT simply ban request it and forget about it. Instead, whenever you see it, you should notify a moderator in IRC immediately so they can wipe all the posts at once. They can do so either from an active thread, or from your existing ban request. Ping mods until you get a response.

If you do submit a ban request, use the "Child Pornography (Request or Link)" template.

The spam is easily recognizable and looks like what you see in the attached image. It is posted to /e/, /h/, /d/, /u/, /y/, /s/, /hc/, /hm/, and /t/. The posts always come from the same IP so it's easy for a moderator to get rid of them -- just don't BR and move on.
