Dear trephin,

"r@ygold" is a code word used by owners and utterers of highly illegal
child pornography to mark the material they are sharing in
P2P-networks or trying to spread using other ways in the Internet.

That loathsome "...people sharing child pornography on the P2P
networks has already devised naming codes to attempt to hide the
actual content. Typically, these naming codes will be an elaborate
assortment of letters and symbols that are commonly understood in the
child pornography P2P community. For example, “R@ygold” is a common
naming code right now."
