I'm in agreement with this lemmy.world post and will enforce the same policy here and on my other instances relating to the #nicole spam issue. https://lemmy.world/post/28077771

Ban of "Nicole" images and potential doxing - Lemmy.World Hello world, as many of you may already be aware, there is an ongoing spam attack by a person claiming to be Nicole. It is very likely that these images are part of a larger scale harassment campaign against the person depicted in the images shared as part of this spam. Although the spammer claims to be the person in the picture, we strongly believe that this is not the case and that they’re only trying to frame them. Starting immediately, we will remove any images depicting “Nicole” and information that may lead to identifying the real person depicted in those images to prevent any possible harassment. This includes older posts and comments once identified. We also expect moderators to take action if such content is reported. While we do not intend to punish people posting this once, not being aware of the context, we may take additional actions if they continue to post this content, as we consider this to be supporting the harassment campaign. Discussion that does not include the images themselves or references that may lead to identifying the real person behind the image will continue to be allowed. If you receive spam PMs please continue reporting them and we’ll continue working on our spam detections to attempt to identify them early before they reach many users. https://lemmy.world/post/28077771
