I've been forced by recent events to add a few lines of code to the
comments script that will serve to track and display the IP address of where any comment that is added originates from. This is pretty much superficial, as it doesn't solve the problem of fake names or a few people pretending to be somebody else, but at least it should make it easier to track the most obvious attempts at such forgery. I don't think tracking IP's is a good thing, but it seems to have become a necessary evil to at least try to keep ANN's comments from degrading any further. Thanks for your understanding.

Not going to work. These spoofers are excellent of faking ip address that
it is hard to find out where are they coming from. Looking up hostnames makes
it worse since the spoofer picks up a hostname he fakes using that ip and
sticks with it until the damage is done and then finds another ip quickly. We
can only learn what is real and what is not unless someone out there knows how
to track down a spoofer and reveal its true ip address. |
