Update: X’s have been added to the numbers. The whole thing just pisses me off – real headache to try to go back and have it ‘cleaned’ up. My question – WHY was it the protocol to have it listed that way in the first place? There are writers on that site and I’ve even contacted one (via their listed email, not in comments) to see how they felt about that being done – no answer. I’m assuming they have their posts there for exposure only, not caring whether people comment, which is fine. So, concerning this… triple X’s are a very good thing; the more the better.

Thank you, DK, for getting back to me – I appreciate it! Writing a post on this would be marvelous! Just any light you could shed on it.

I’ve stopped commenting on that site since someone I know told me how stupid it was of me to have done that in the 1st place.

It’s too bad because I feel there are a LOT of talented, humorous writers on that site but that the general public isn’t leaving comments because of their IP addresses being displayed. Yes, some have software to disguise their IP through 1 or 2 levels, but other people don’t have this. Now, I’d like my comments to be erased because I feel so vulnerable to have that info sitting there ‘forever’ and a day, ya know – I’ll email them about it.

Thank you, Dk. I’ll get your RSS for when you write of this.

cb, perhaps this is worth a short post, because its a very interesting point. It is normal for servers to log visitor IP addresses, but I don’t think the IP should be displayed publicly, especially with comments and feedback. Hopefully, I’ll comment further in a short post.

Speaking of security, on some sites (namely http://www.scrivel.com) when leaving a comment one’s IP address is displayed.

Is leaving a comment on their posts a bad thing because of this?

When entering a comment, it only asks your name, no email address, and when the comment is posted, there it is – your IP. Please give the lowdown on all the risks that leaving comments on their posts entails. Thanks.
