I don't know who is running it, but there's a bot network that grabs images from various porn-based subreddits, flips the image horizontally, posts them to a sub like /r/GorgeousTeensGW/, then cross-posts those back to the original subs.
Basically, the bot grabs a high-karma post from 3 to 4 weeks ago, copies the post, flips the image, then reposts it as a cross-post from their spam sub, complete with the exact title and flair, etc.
Here's an example, though it's NSFW.[1] That sub has a lot[2] of examples[3] of this sort[4] of spam[5].
It's spam designed to pull people off the porn subreddits and pull them to the leakgirls.com site that's mentioned in the titles of all their submissions.
Now, obviously we can't set up an automod filter to remove all titles with 'leakgirls.com' on them, since those titles are hosted on a different sub.
Does turning off crossposting of posts in a sub's settings prevent people from crossposting stuff *from* a subreddit, or does it prevent people from crossposting stuff *to* a subreddit?

you have to disable crossposts on your subreddit completely as far as I am aware. Theres some info on r/TheseFuckingAccounts about these subs. These particular spammers make a couple accounts a day, post a bunch of comments on freekarma, then park it for a while. After their sub EVENTUALLY gets banned, they will recycle one of their hundreds of accounts, create a new sub, and commence spam posting EVERYWHERE all over again. its gotten really out of hand

Just use a filter to remove any posts using the offending domain. You can add more domains as time moves on, or if they get creative you may have to move into using regex statements; see r/regex for more help on that. Here is an example I use to block discord servers. You could also get creative and have it send a message to the user telling them it was removed to fill up their mailbox as well.
`### Remove discord links - official link in column on page`
`type: any`
`domain+body+title (includes): ['``discord.gg`[1]`', 'discorddotgg', '``discord.me`[2]`', '``top.gg`[3]`', '``discordservers.me`[4]`', '``discord.link`[5]`', '``discordservers.com`[6]`', '``discord.com`[7]`']`
`action: remove`
`modmail: |`
`u/{{author}} **spam detected!**`
`---`

Adding this to your automod should catch them

EDIT:
While you're at it I'd recommend adding this rule too. I've seen hundreds of spam comments using this format on other NSFW subreddits I frequent without the mods doing anything about them, so might as well share. It removes the specific comment where they mention a subreddit/usernale and an emoji.
Rule might not be perfect, I'm no regex expert, but it functions well on the subs I mod.
type: comment body (regex): ["^.*((/?(u|r)/\\w+)\\s?.*(([\U0001d400-\U0001d7ff])|([\U0001f000-\U0001ffff])|([\uff00-\uffef])|([\u2300-\u2bff])|([\u2190-\u21ff])|([\u2030-\u204f]))+)|((([\U0001d400-\U0001d7ff])|([\U0001f000-\U0001ffff])|([\uff00-\uffef])|([\u2300-\u2bff])|([\u2190-\u21ff])|([\u2030-\u204f]))+\\s?.*)(/?(u|r)/\\w+).*$"] action: remove action_reason: emoji spam attempt

After banning for a straight hour, every ten minutes or so a new bot crossposts on /r/Shortstacks (NSFW sub about short full bodied women).
I addressed the issue to followers in a post and told them I'd be disabling crossposting for a month until I could find a better solution through automod.
It seems to have worked but I'm hoping I can find a good guide to force out those bots.

Leakgirls are basically the roaches of reddit. So annoying.

I have wrote so many rules to block their bullshit and eventually they work their way around it and come back stronger. They're just as aggressive as cancer.

Automod doesn't help when they're all watermarks now.
