Hypothetical question

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

Are you also aware that there are several websites you can put his IP addy into which will give you a breakdown of his ISP and a general geographical location?

We've been down this path before on the board and as our self-appointed attorney, I'd advise us to not go down the path again.

In my years of administrating a board with far more assholes and banned members then 930.com, this was standard practice to sniff out repeat offenders, and even the most insane rich brats never took any legal recourse. What privacy law is broken by automated returns of metadata from ISPs?

The mods currently do a good job of blocking IP's and weeding out the multiple alias' when problems arise.  I was speaking of an issue of outing someone publicly on the board that doesn't need to be repeated.

Nope.  And yes, it was before your time.

I also don't recall whatever he's alluding to.     :confused:

No fair talking about something that was before my time in vague  terms on my thread.

Really guys, it was nothing.  Your mods know what they're doing. That's all I was getting at...
