I am just curious who has the ability to view our IP addresses that are recorded. Is it just the admins or admins and mods? |

With most bb software I've used it's normally visible to both, and it's positioned somewhere around/under the avatar and rank along with the rest of those stats. |

The mods can see the IPs only for the topics they're mods for. |

Just out of curiosity on the IPs. Since they are dynamic - for the most part, some are static - it really isn't a major issue. I know grabbing an IP is easy to do, and just as easy for a user to bypass using their own IP. I can use my IP or one of the unsecured APs that are within range and show a different IP. That is one of the weakness of using IPs to ban a user. |

You want to worry about privacy or something? Try the Patriot Act. Somehow I dont think there is anything to worry about here. |

Silence wrote: What, you wanna get banned prom? ;P lol, not really. As I stated, just curious about the IP display. The bypassing of IP banning is easily done, but I was thinking as much for a TWGS ban as this site when I said about the weakness - didn't seperate the thought though. |

Well, just to clarify: If you are a mod in an area, you see the IP address of every user who post's there. Admin's see IP's everywhere. |
