Hi all, quote:
ORIGINAL: Chickenboy quote:
ORIGINAL: AW1Steve So let me ask my technologically gifted brethern a "Hypothetical" question. Let's say someone who has been banned from the forum for bad behavior goes and creates another identity. Or say 5 or 6. And in doing , he continues this bad behavior. Besides closing each of these "personalities" (which is doubtful , as each one will be treated fairly by the moderators as an individual) is there any way that a IT savy person could prove conclusively that this individual is the same one , and say just shut out that IP address. Of course this is totally , purely hypothetical. Hypothetically, of course... I've seen some of our more astute technophile forumites trace back someone's ISP to a geographical location and post a map of said location in an effort to quiet certain posters. I don't know how the heck they would do it, but I think it could be done. This is no problem at all! But Matrix forums are hiding posters IPs - this is (I believe) only for Matrix staff to see (I don't think that even moderators can see IPs)... Leo "Apollo11"
