Allow moderators to view IP's?


Do you allow your moderators to view IP addresses? Personally I dont allow them.

Im might start letting them then. I guess your right no harm can be done unless they are secret under cover computer hackers.

Re: Allow moderators to view IP's?


Knowing the IP of a member is hardly going to help them hack their system and frankly any one can know the ip of users by simply serving an image in your forum and then checking which ips are trying to access it.

Re: Allow moderators to view IP's?


Most of my mods wouldn't know how to use that information anyway... I had to teach them what an ip address was, I doubt they've figured out how to geolocate one yet.
