| Detail | What to note |
|--------|--------------|
| URL / Thread ID | Copy the exact web address (e.g., https://boards.4channel.org/pol/thread/123456789). If the URL is shortened, expand it first. |
| Date & Time | Note the exact timestamp shown on the post (usually displayed in the corner). Also record the time you observed it (include your time‑zone). |
| Board / Section | Identify the board (e.g., /b/, /pol/, etc.). |
| Usernames / IDs | Capture any visible usernames, tripcodes, or unique post IDs. |
| Content Description | Write a brief, factual description of what the post contains (e.g., “image of a child in sexual pose,” “link to external site hosting CP,” “text describing sexual activity with a minor”). Do not copy or save the illegal image/video. |
| Screenshots (if safe) | If your jurisdiction allows it and you can do so without saving the illegal material itself, take a screenshot of the page that includes the URL bar and the post. Blur or redact the actual illegal image/video if it appears in the screenshot. Save the screenshot in a non‑editable format (e.g., PDF) for evidence. |
| IP / Geolocation (if visible) | Some forums display the poster’s IP hash or location; note it if present. |
