That way, people will tend to behave more, and there will be less troll activity. Many boards do that now.IP: Logged |

Randall It is not unheard of of people killing people for anger on someone's opinion. Please, don't take a person's location lightly. That is my opinion. ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

They do, as it is a 20 mile or so radius of where the person lives. If you add a last name to that, with google earth, you have the person's house.

I don't have nearly as many daily visitors as Randall but I have banned one person and I know his IP. I see his IP coming from different computers and I ban it whenever I see it. He must be going to the library or another person's house to get on. I could be banning a whole new person but I still do it because it is worth it to me not to have this person on my website. ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal

That means that in Nazi Germany standing up for what was true was hate speech. You need to study history more, Juni, with all due respect and I do mean that ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

AA, this is not a GU thread nor a history lesson thread to give opinionated views on. You have the oddest and an intriguing way to get your opinions across. thanks. ------------------ Christian, Jew, Muslim, Shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the Mystery, unique and not to be judged.

I don't know Randall, trouble makers are so creative these days, they're probably already laughing at the suggestion.Also what about ppl who purposely hide thier IP not to do harm, but to protect themselves, have no doubt that the WWW isn't even the beggining of the story with some people. I think you need more 'out of the box' or a longer list of 'proposed' solutions. but i've got a bit of a mind block about these things, so can't help mroe than this! sorry!!! EDIT TO ADD, also you are a nice person, but some ppl have no problem being really rude on all threads, and aren't even hiding who they are, so what is the use of showing ppl's IP's? IP: Logged |

I am done. I think that making IPs viewable would be terrible for any number of reasons. Someone could become obsessed with someone. The world is a scary place. Blessings, Friends and Happy 4th ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

As granny always said, the proofs in the pudding. IP posting won`t stop trolling behavior but it may prohibit aggression and make people think twice before they cross that line. ------------------ Christian, Jew, Muslim, Shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the Mystery, unique and not to be judged.

Not sure how that will stop troll behavior, but you could try it. It should be an across the board thing to make it really fair.IP: Logged |

LOL Think of the numerological consequence of doing so! we will have the battle of the numbers lol ip's who add up to 1 won't quit, those with ip's that add up to a 9 will drive everyone crazy by asking others to 'rise above it all' in the most aggressive martian way possible...7's will quietly withdraw and cancel membership and and ....let's not get to what a plethora of 4's and 8's can do when united (at least the forum will suddenly have a lot of money without anyone being sure why) okay i'll get away from this section of the forum for a bit now.....
