andy you are dangling our IP addresss in front of everyone
everyone is posting from a private IP, or are they? My fuckin' IP is staring at me at the bottom of the page. You have my Home Address. When subpoena'd by
u/zerosugar, it's over. You would Out us. You'd give up any one of us. Like why do you want us to know that you have our IP address? this is why none of us post
here. And it's all your fault.

Lol. Your IP is only visible to you-- it doesn't track IPs except when you register an account, which is for anti-fraud reasons. I do have the IPs in the log
files, but those roll over every so often and there's no reason to worry.

andy you're a retarded Nerd. I can click on cowgod's name, see he registered in Irondale, AL, search Jews in his vicinity and before you know it I've found his
imdb profile. It's that simple. You should not have IP addresses on display. There are not that many Jews in Alabama, especially Sephardic Jews. You don't care
about being outed because you like posting your phenotype but some of us have bad phenotypes and want to stay hidden at all costs. This is what you don't "get"
about Losers and why you never had the makings of a top poster or a varsity athlete.

@TheImmigrantTest Just because the IP is on their page doesn't mean that's
actually their IP. For example, someone registered your username and you said it wasn't you, so your IP is not accurate. The IP was intended to be on there
for some accountability in case people registered from VPNs or overseas, as some have done. But I probably should at least restrict the viewing of user pages
to registered/logged in users. I'll work on that.

andy you're missing the point. there are High-Income millennials who are Afraid to post here because of your IP address fetish. Go ahead and log the IPs.
Privately. Better yet, don't. But if you did for some reason, like if you REALLY like IP addresses, don't display said IP addresses. make them visible on the
Server Side, but not to anyone who should randomly click on someone's name. If you don't know how to do this it's because you majored in liberal arts.

@marlonTest based on your IP address, I have now determined your home address https://i.redd.it/6z7r3ash5vsg1.png

Admin-sahib, you could split the baby on this.
If your only use case for having raw IPs on the server side is to determine whether New User is registering from the same IP as Old User (i.e., whether New User
is a sock of Old User) could you not accomplish this by storing not raw IPs but rather hashed salted IPs?
If Old User registered from IP1 which, when salted and hashed, is H; and
if New User registered from IP2 which, when salted and hashed, is H; then you know that IP1 == IP2 and that the creation of New User is likely the creation of a
sock.
Of course, if you know your own salt or if you're forced to give it up or if it gets pwned then it is presently computationally feasible to brute-force the
non-RFC1918 IPv4 address space to find the address that outputted H. v6, maybe more resistant, for now.
If from time to time you destroy your salt and replace with a new salt then you wouldn't have to worry about log recycling as the sole means of making IP
address records ephemeral. Once the salt's gone - assuming the salt was itself robust - you can't brute force the hashed IPs out of logs.
For poasts, just tack on "TheImmigrant from hashed IP 9501e27952dc0b1c7cabd9a77713736fe6fbad02c0ac1caca0cc8003d1192b80" and then Poasters would be able to see
if IPs were the same or not, but not raw IPs.
This does not address rapidly-changing IPs, yes. True. I actually think it would be a stimulating discussion to troubleshoot this all.
