McTasty please 😀 Why not just admit you don’t know what you are talking about? Based on what you have posted if I was logged on here and on McDonalds wifi and so were you, then another mod might ban both of our accounts.

slinkydevil Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Along with the MF member webcam access by the forum software, I'm not too bothered by the IP access either. We're all friends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the posts on here are much more logical, literate and without the jarring grammatical errors that the Port Soderick Herald scoops have.

The probability of 2 posters accusing one poster of being the same person on 4 accounts...then a mod checking the IPs used on those 4 accounts over multiple days/times and finding them to be EXACTLY the same IP...point that to be one individual. Pretty much a certainty. There may well be other accounts that haven't even been followed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but you showed a total lack of understanding as to what an IP address was which is a bit concerning. You will probably find a reason to ban me now because like he man. You have the power 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fundamentally concerning. If you work in a building of 400 people and sit on your corporate wifi network then someone on the third floor you met at the coffee machine a month ago is you according to this forum. Also if you use a VPN package (I do very often) then anyone else using that spur on the same package is also you. It has very worrying potential legal implications if the assessment is really like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTailT Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 2 hours ago, Asthehills said: These two posts from a mod are actually quite concerning if that is why those accounts were all banned. Just to be clear, I am glad they were all banned. However. If the block was based on IP then they could for example all be people at the airport, or all people who work for the same business or at the same restaurant. @Albert Tatlock there are many ways of viewing your own publicly visible IP address. One is https://whatismyipaddress.com/ Try it from different devices attached to your router and you will get the same answer. Herein was the point of my original concern here. A moderator openly claiming 4 users are on the same IP is in my view, inappropriate. Know it, take action as they see fit, but disclosing it to us doesn't seem right. I'm going to start parking on Summerhill and using Frank's WiFi from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeliX Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Albert Tatlock said: Don't be a moron...unique IPs per device are why your mum gets the saga holiday info she's just requested back to her device...while she doesn't get to see the shit you post on MF in your bedroom upstairs. Err, no not really. Devices on an internal network (usually, depending on your definition of 'device') have different internal IP addresses. All devices inside one internal network will (usually) share the same external IP address. The router handles the translation between the two to ensure the right packets go to the right internal device.

Multiple people and devices in my house, we all have the same public IP allocated to us by our ISP. On the router we have different local IPs, yes. You and I both know that monetisation and tracking is cookie and email address based, not generally IP based.
