'rdlist' is a comprehensive list of child abuse related rooms on Matrix, it's a safety initiative led by the [Legion of Janitors](https://matrix.to/#/#janitors:glowers.club).
This script can automatically load and block/purge abusive rooms from rdlist, making it **very easy** for inexperienced administrators to block this harmful content.

## Collect User Reports on local users in rdlist rooms
This script can automatically generate 'User Reports' for each one of your local users in rdlist rooms that have the 'recommended tags'.
These user reports can be given to law enforcement or shared in [#janitor-dumps](https://matrix.to/#/#janitor-dumps:glowers.club) to help us locate more abusive users/rooms.

## Send Incident Reports for remote users in rdlist rooms
This script can automatically generate 'Incident Reports' for every remote homeserver admin with users in rdlist rooms that have the 'recommended tags'.
It examines the homeserver involved to find a admin contact method via [MSC1929](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/1929). If an MXID is returned it will attempt to send the Incident Report over Matrix. If an email is provided it will send the Incident Report over email. If neither is found a whois lookup is performed and the Incident Report are sent to the domain registrar via email.
