    Should the board show posters IP addresses?

    The sock-puppetry nonsense is getting completely out of hand!

    Should the board be modified to show the IP address of the poster, or perhaps a hash of the IP, so that we can see exactly who's who?

    I know that IP addresses are not totally reliable, but it would make the obvious sockpuppets stick out like a sore thumb, unless they went to exceptional lengths to change IPs between posts.

    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

        It's not that difficult to have two or three browsers open pointing to different proxy servers...

          Is that a rumour. Or something you have tried and proved?

              Since we're Spartacus, surely the IP address would still be the same
