An IP address is hardly personal. All they can do is find out your ISP. If they can break into your computer remotely, you have bigger problems.
I know that only mod/admins can but this guy is just a regular member claimed he got someone's IP only t hrough PM. Apparently the person who he got the IP from said he didn't click on anything.....

IP is not private but considering that this guy is a such a untrustworthy member I would not trust him as admin. So it would safe to assume that he is maybe the admin or it is he's just a regular member who imbedded some images which were clicked on???


Sorry to sound so erratic but I just wanted to have some idea how it is possible for a member to have access to IPs.
