Lets say online you run into some very bad things, is there a safe way to report it to the authorities (because you want said very bad things to be dealt with) but not get yourself arrested because the law is written so that anyone who comes in contact with said things is automatically a criminal regardless of the circumstances
I'm not saying what or where, for obvious reasons, use your imagination, I just don't want to get arrested for drug dealing because I spotted a bag of crack on the side of the road and pointed it out to a cop

I think that means I should probably do something about it
Assuming I'm correctly interpreting the situation here, the same thing has happened to me and it is pretty shocking. In my case I just assumed the board moderators reported it though.
If you saw some child-related stuff and don't want to go directly to the government because of retarded laws about what constitutes possession/trafficking, you can try these guys: http://www.asacp.org/index.php?content=report
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
No I was looking for porn, to be honest, just not... that
That is tremendously helpful, I reported it to my newsgroup host already and gonna on that site as well, thanks
If you're reporting /b/ however, I'm just going to give you some advice, the FBI already knows.
Was this a pay site?
This. It's hardly the best kept secret in the world that some sick fucks on /b/ like to post CP in violation of the sites rules. It's the number one reason I stopped going there. I was tired of being paranoid that one day I would have to explain that I really didn't want to have that shit on my PC it was just on a web page that I happened to view. My advice to you is to avoid /b/, the other boards don't generally have the same problems with illegal content showing up that /b/ does.
If you're really worried about the fallout to yourself I would suggest getting some eraser software and giving your HD a good scrub.
Occasionally there may be something funny or clever posted, but you have to wade through rivers of sewage for hours on end to find it.
Do yourself a favour and forget it even exists. It's a cesspool frequented in the majority by the kind of people you wouldn't piss on if they were on fire in real life.

I'm not telling you how to write your posts, but, in the future, you might want to highlight certain sections for emphasis.

What? I don't think thats true.
Jailbait boards.

Which were eventually banned. I mean there's plenty of valid reasons to hate on reddit but that isn't one of them.
Anyway, off topic.
*edit to respond below
You may be right, but I certainly don't even want to go check
Fair enough!
They got put back up due to popular demand. Anyway, that's offtopic. Back to the OP, I don't think there's much you can do about an anonymous internet post. Good luck though.

What kind of minor celebrity has a publicly available home phone number?
Either he's a really good sport, or he's asking for it.
And by "it", I mean "Is your refrigerator running?"-type antics
