Besides deleting the posts and banning the user, is there some way we can report them or something?
The only thing php can't do is tell you how much milk is left in the fridge.

Find out their IP Address and contact their ISP, they'll see to it.

There are different national and international authorities on this, that accept reports on CP, but perhaps the best way to go would be to simply report all details of the poster and the material posted to the police.... Or in case you are in the U.S. the FBI.

Reporting to the relevant authority is probably the best idea. However as most forum posters are probably hacked PCs this is probably not a very good use of your time and you'd probably be best just using a different mod to block them

I've been spammed with regular porn images before and just ban their IP Address and move on..but if it's CP..I'd almost report them to their ISP.

If I was ever spammed with child pornography I would try in some way shape or form, to report it to the authorities(in my case, the FBI).  This was said earlier in the topic, but it's what I'd do myself.  The chances are, if he's spammed you with child pornography, that he's using a proxy, so simply banning his I.P. address wouldn't help very much.  However, if he's dumb enough to not hide his I.P. address, use that to your full advantage, and report it immediately(either to the authorities or if you can figure out their ISP, to them).
