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.

Posted by The guy from this IP: on 24-Aug-2000 22:00 GMT | In my opinion, it's useless. The ones want make fake messages will find ways to elude it, and the ones want to be anonim are do that usually with a reason, and this way they may be avoid commenting. |
