Ok, maybe I'm asking a stupid question, Ive been accused of worse.
But, why you don't show each poster's IP somewhere in the post? like under their handle, or in the message box?
I just think a good bunch of the bullshit fakenick posts and fake drama would be exposed.
Except, of course, those smart enough to use a proxy, and even then they'd be exposed as using a proxy, so it would just highlight the fact that they have something to hide. It would also make it a pain in the ass to post under several nicks at the same time if you didn't want to be spotted right away because you would have to keep switching proxies and shit.
It's not like you'd be exposing private info or anything...I can grab ip's from any post I make from the image in my sig anyways if I wanted to and match them to the referring Url to see what IP's post in a thread I'm in.
I think it might make for a much better board experience...
Am I way off in my thinking here?
