Since the thread was here where someone wondered about what the rules were for checking user IPs here is what I just posted about the subject in How to Glitter:
Can you see who I am?
Well, not really. Anyone with a moderator account can check a user's IP address. Through this tool we can see if two users are probably one in the same. This is useful tool in the cases of board abuse, or suspected board abuse, such as spam, swap flaking and trolling. We reserve the right to do this on a case by case basis. However this tool is used very sparingly by the volunteer, unpaid, overworked moderators and board administrators. We all have other, better things to do then check your IP address.
Starting from now on I will more clearly tell moderators to check IPs only in suspected spam and trolling cases.
PM me with concerns
