Public IP Address Amendment [Passed to Regions]

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I think Jedi misunderstood what this does.

I understand that.

But it is a privilege for Mods to have access to IP's. They have nothing to do with a game we play; they are about keeping the Forum secure. Any issues about sock posters should be raised with the Mods and discussed and dealt with there. If we learn of any then we will tell you publically (if they are not banned already). That is all the evidence you need to play the game and have a 'prosecution.'

And all this does, If I am correct, is make sure that once you due tell us publically that they can be used by the game as evidence. From my interpretation this has absolutely nothing to do with any part of that process you just mentioned, if I understand this bill correctly that is.

Well as I said the bill specifically says 'IP adresses' may be a used. Clearly they wont be as a mod is not going to say 'X's IP is 0.1234567' etc publically; they are simply going to say 'We did an IP check and X is a sock' That's what I'm getting at.

ah mister Moderator, you're forgetting you are also senator and thus can do some "moding" of this here act.

I certainly don't mind doing that But there was no point in doing so until I had explained my objections/ No mod is going (I hope!) to give the court an IP address, so this bill would be useless. Confirmation that an account is a sock ect should suffice. How best to do that needs a little work given that proclamations that 'X is a sock' may take place outside the Fantasy board. The GM could be charged with repeating/confirmation that on here.

Problem here is not content but about the contents admissibility. All we want to do here is to make sure it is admissable in court without a warrant.
