I can't begin to tell you how many people have emailed or pm'd me wanting to obtain the names of the posters on this site, however, I must tell you that to do so would defeat the entire purpose of this site which is to allow posters to post as they see fit, providing the posting is not illegal, or violates the TOS (see "terms of service,")
The ADMIN and MOD1 have access to IP address but the information does not tell us who the poster is. This information only allows us to ban a poster that is being abusive and surely, no one can expect us to provide you with names and address, if we could, for purposes of civil action; that would be absurd!!!! The only way to obtain that information would require a subpoena and a court order and as history and case law provides us, that is not possible as well. If you are having a problem with a post and you would like to bring it to our attention please feel free to copy and email us or flag it for staff review and we will look into the problem. If the post violates our rules it will be deleted and the issue attended to by our policy.

I can only feel that those requesting this info are doing so to heap retribution to those of us that may finally be 'ROCKING THE BOAT" I can't think of any other reason for this request, can anyone else??
I know John with Madison Voice receives these request's as well. Thank Goodness for a little common sense in protecting the rights of posters on this board and other venues as well.
I'm not hiding anymore, I have put my name and handle out there, but these people will never get my IP address.
With someone's IP address you can send things, threat's whatever you chose to someone as if you were that person, thanks but no thanks, that is not happening here.
So whomever is requesting this stuff is simply up to NO GOOD!!!!!!

The requests I receive come mainly from the same two people.
