are mods able to check ips NT?

NT! · #5 02-12-2007, 12:36 AM

nation, you can see a user's IP in their notes, i have taken the liberty of recording the IPs of a few trolls in times past to see if they match up with new ones.

i can't imagine this was a legit mod action since all his user notes were deleted and nobody mentioned it here (unless i missed something). do un-bannings show up in admin emails or only bannings?

if nobody owns up to this i don't see why i shouldn't ban him again

oh wow i didn't know we could check ips. i always thought that only admins could do that. sweet.

admins can run checks on a specific IP or do some other stuff, like IP bans, we can view IPs though.

ohhh you mean if like they see someone new and want to see if its some older poster, they can just call up all the names associated with that ip?

Yes, they can do a search of the database for IP matches
