RE: Scan/Show IP address of Friend
Although some people think it is an invasion to privacy and others think it is b******* to obtain an ip to find out who a person is, it will certainly be to value for me.
I own and run a pretty large messageboard and with a large messageboard come 'fuck-ups'. People who will try to spoil the fun for others or try everything possible to piss you off.
Amongst their actions is the 'imposter' msn approach. Acting if they're someone else and asking for sensitive information from moderators and administrators about information regarding other users and moderators.
Fortunately my staff knows what to do in these kinds of situations as we have our own policies to deal with such matters. However I would sure like to find out who's approaching them all the time.
In other words: find out their IP address (possibly even their hostname) and compare it to the IP addresses at our messageboard to see if there are any users who have the same IP address (and hostname).
It doesn't take a genius to realize what will happen to the user if we find out who he is.
So to me it would certainly be a valuable add-on/plug-in.
