What to do with someones IP?

[iistapp]

Who.is

So how did he find my IP? Or is that because he is a super mod?

Any moderator (or user with correct permissions) can view the IP of a user based upon their posts.

Cheers, so do I by any chance have the permission to view someones IP based upon their post?
If so, how would I find it? ^^

No, you don't. It's possible for a user to have that access, but only staff get access to those tools.

Would you say it's important to logg IP's on any web page what so ever that you got running, in case of someone trying to break into it?

or in case TheWhiteKid comes back.
You should check out the Idiot's corner.
Those guys are really annoying.

Not with someone trying to break into it - mainly so we can catch multis.

Sorry for bringing this up again, but what did you use to find my IP and that information?

Yeah, like the others have said....staff can view ip addresses. It's also important for bans. I took your ip and popped it in here: http://ip-lookup.net/

Cheers, thanks for the replies : )
