blonde poker forum

i believe my ip address has been exposed by either a mod on here or on another forum,is this allowed ?sorry if I'm wrong i just thought it was private ,to the site your on and not to be exposed with another site thanks for any advice.

 ;popcorn; ;popcorn;

Why would you think so?
It is kept private on here (only yourself and the mods can see it) and 99% of people wouldn't know what it could be used for?

What has happened?

i asked a question on another forum under a diffrent user name as i change my name quiet often, and the owner of the site has come on there quiet sarcastically and exposed who i am and wiped of the question coz they didn't like the question,it was not rude or anything wrong with the question they just decided to wipe it of...

IP Address's can be obtained VERY easily, don't be too hasty to accuse someone of "giving" your IP address away.

James,
If you registered under your own name initially, they would have your ip address, you then go away and reg as someone else they will know it's you, same ip address,

funny that you just come off the site that has exposed my ip ,if they can be obtained very easy why are they hidden?

Your IP address won't change no matter how often you change your username, if you opened a new account on here they would still know it was you.

If you havent noticed Sofa, myself and Paul havent said anything for or against P4C , because we really dont know anything either way  ::) conspiracy theories flying around left right and centre !!

hi dewi i registered under a diffrent email address and diffrent name coz i purpousely didnt want them to know who i was m8 but they was either given my ip address from on here as they know a lot of the mods on here....i am only asking if this is possible m8 its just not fair if my private info was given out by a mod on here ,,,,im not saying it was but merley saying is this possible to do?

Your IP address will be known to the owner of the other site.

The web server and forum software will have logged it.

So, you register as user A and makes some posts, their log will have something in it like:

User: A
IP: 1.2.3.4
Post: xxxxxxx

then you re-register as user B and make another post. The log shows:

User: B
IP: 1.2.3.4
Post: xxxxxxx

Doesn't take a genius to work it out, and nothing to do with anyone e;se 'exposing' your details.

And it does beg the question, why would you feel a need to post on a single forum under more than one username?

James. I dont know exactly what you are trying to say, but I am not going to bite.

Just google for "ip address" and see for yourself just how easy it is to get someone's IP address.

And if you are that worried, you can easily get a small proggie that will generate a "false" IP address which changes every time you log onto the internet.

Failing that, just ask your ISP  for a "non static" IP address - this will then change every time you re connect to the internet.

i was a new member on the site in question which i have not said which one ,,
NEW MEMBER
NEW EMAIL
NEW USER NAME
NEW ADDRESS
BUT STILLthis site said who i was i just dont know how this is possible unless someone from here checked my ip address and gave it to the other site who then put 2+2 together and come up with it being the same person.i dunno i might be wrong but its a bit fishy,a real good friend of mine who is 5-it hot on computers said this is only possible if someone gave my ip address to the other site....i just wanted conformation from this site if this is possible thanks...

What about peer guardian?  does that not hide your ip address?

ok,ok ill say it out loud.I REGISTERED ON A SITE AS ???????? (NAME HIDDEN) AND THEY COME BACK AND ANSWER ME AS       
                                          "sofa----king"
surley some one has given them my ip address from here and matched it up with my ip address on there site as i gave a new email address a new name  ,and a false area where i was coming from hows that?????? now yall know..is this right ???

James, as I understand it, if you used the same computer, it would automaticaly expose your IP to the other site, no matter what email or alias you use.

James

I am not trying to be funny here, but the post you made on P4C was obvious to me that it was you - so if I can work it out, I am sure everyone else who read it could of worked it out.

Stop being so paranoid!

charmaine,,i didnt mention p4c in this thread ?

I just read your post on that site and tbh i would've guessed it was you mate.

No caps, same er grammatical errors. ain't hard to guess the sausage is you mate

 rotflmfao

Yep , i worked it out and I'm so blonde i think i may of invented the saying  :-X

While I'm being honest, all the forums i use i am invisible coz i don't want all you nice people knowing how many hours i actually spend on them  ;D

James, also your friend who is 5hit hot in computers, cant be that hot if he/she says it is almost impossible to get someone's ip address.

I could post a link on here of several ways to obtain someone's ip address, but I feel it would be against BLONDE's T & C's so I wont - but there are MANY MANY ways to gain someone's IP address VERY easily AND without them knowing!!

Sorry for saying which forum you were talking about Sofa  :(

bloody hell that wasnt the post for gods sake they wiped it of,the question i asked on the other site was
  

                     i hope there is no truth in this thread on blonde.
 ( to get a reaction)

that was it, if you think you could tell this was me then well your very,very clever

i posted it 3 days ago and the answer was

                     "SOFA----KING"  
      "YOU WILL FIND ALL THE ANSWERS ON BLONDE IN GOOD TIME"

then 5 minutes later it was wiped of so now you all know the facts
how did they  know it was me???unless my ip was given from here?
from ang

No. Peer Guardian only prevents you from making connections with known potentially hostile IP addresses on a pre-determined blocklist.

Your IP address is always displayed to any Internet server you make a direct connection. The only way to hide it from a particular node is to go through a proxy.  The proxy server you are using would still have to see your IP though.

 Ac

i know they know its me now,bloody hell when i posted the other day it was all capitals and no signs of signature,,i made it look so not tlike me as i didnt want them to know it was me yet i was answered by the owner of the site as SOFA----KING surley someone gave her my ip address from this site theat matched my ip on their site then she called me sofa----king.please,please,please can anyone see my point?????????????

no probs but i wanted it known that i didnt say which site hun.

I get what you're saying, maybe it was just a lucky guess?
I don't know.

be serious m8 i dont think this was a lucky guess,i really think a mod from here has given my ip address to the other site to see if it was me and the answer that they gave on the other site was not thought through enough to know i am not stupid to know that this is the only way possible for them to know it was me ....

James

I take your point (as I always try to do when there is a difference of opinion) but even if (and I dont think for one minute it is) what you are saying IS true, do you really think that a mod on here will come on and say "yes it was me"??

Of course not.

James I don't understand it and you don't understand it, but we are both dinosaurs when it comes to computers.

One thing I DO know though, is people. No mod from here would give your IP out to anyone, and I will stand by that 100%.

Trust me, there is another explaination.

Ok Sofa, im not sure how to word this so you will understand it, so i will try my best.

The mods CANNOT see or have access to your IP address, the only person that has access to that information is Ironside as an administrator.  

Perhaps you of all people should think before questioning the integrity of blonde and the team, especially as you know how accusations and hearsay can snowball out of control.

I hope this puts your mind at rest and you can think of another theory to occupy you for the rest of the day.

Well as much as I would like to stay, I have that fun fun fun task of the weekly shop to do.

Oh the joys of life eh?

Be nice all x

lol

OK here is a snippet from a weblog. As you can see it gives a fair amount of info.

In this case the location is relatively wide (Minneapolis) but in some cases it can be much more specific. i.e. if you were posting from a suburb of Newcastle it might say Newcastle, or it might say Jesmond.

So, knowing that, plus as other have pointed out, doing a bit of 2+2ing on things like subject matter, grammatical idiosyncracies, etc. its often not going to be difficult to work out who a 'new' poster actually is.

Also, note that if you are using a bog standard domestic Internet account, your IP address is probably dynamic i.e. your ISP allocates it from a pool of numbers each time you reconnect. This means the first part of it will stay the same, but the last 1 or 2 parts will vary each time you reconnect. e.g. if you reconnected three times, your numbers might be:

56.120.18.6
56.120.17.79
56.120.18.42

So nobody could definitely say who you were, but they could say(for example) it's someone on the NTL network who lives just west of Birmingham, uses Win XP and Firefox.

i am so,so,so so glad thankyou BLONDE for clearing this up ,now i can rest asure that this is fine by me i just wanted to know who can see my ip address and to me you have done this i was under the impression that all mods can see my ip address thankyou kev my mind is at rest halaluliaaaaaaaa.

If you have posted on the forum before, it logs your IP addy and who made the post. When you post under another alias, that admin can see who has made posts from that IP addy previously.

Hope that helps.

Is this the strat of a blondegate affair?

Don't believe then sofa, they are all out to get you.  Keep looking over your shoulder and sleep with one eye open m8.

The men in black will be at your front door any second....

I know how he does his card tricks!

MWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

I am a  dinosaur when it comes to the workings of computers and I am only 26, sometimes I think I should have been born in the 1940's  :D

i am worried if they are out to get me,I'm sure lol,i just wanted to shed a little light on this ip thingy.i just wanted to know who can see my ip address on here.
as to give me something to ocuPIE my mind for the day i will be getting ready for the market tomorow to sell my stolen property.all are welcome for a good laugh,""""dont be shy, come and buy, there all half price and stolen""""
i dunno i think im still realing over certain topics going on ,on this site its just not going quick enough for me ,im sorry if ive offended anyone including the mods,i think yall know which ones,,sorry guys i just want to add more weight to things as i  am really annoyed at other things.and im far from paranoid,i think....

Do you feel a bit like this?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW2ngQiNXAo

you wanna kep an eye on him ..lol wd...

Kev has grown a goatee!!!!!

When you click on the ip symbol on each post it says this -

"Your IP address is shown only to you and moderators. Remember that this information is not identifying, and that most IPs change periodically.

You cannot see other members' IP addresses, and they cannot see yours."

Kev is Staff not a moderator, so maybe the moderators can see ips?

Anyway i wouldnt worry about it.

Two ways why it was obvious James.

Firstly you have a very unique way of writing, it was instantly obvious to me that it was you posting under a false name to try and get a reaction.

Secondly, now i don't know if they even bothered to check this but usually admin on P4C can see where about in the country you are, if they did this then that would be a big hint too!

Seriously though sir, it would be very hard for you to post without the whole world knowing its you, the way you write.


P.S. Why did you go on there with the intent of shit stirring? Why did you not want to do it under your own name?

I am really confused!!! What is Charmaine doing??

 ;scarymoment; ;popcorn;

You wanna hide behind the sofa  ;grr; ;grr; Charmaine went with him lol

i know that this would have been the answer i was given if i put my own name on there and it would have been deleted,as to knowing my area fair enough but ,,surley your dying to know what has happened as now nobody from there answers and they may think it might just go away ok.

and you dont have to call me sir.

flushy , nor did anyone else see the question that i asked 3 days ago,as it was deleted as i watched and there were only 2 people on line at the time,  written in capitals and so that no-body could see it was me,it was on there for 5 mins.

Anyone with half a brain would've realised it was you sofa.

Flushie just demonstrated that.

If you want your posts to become more anonymous for whatever reason, here's a couple of points.

Commas are not birds of a feather who like to flock together. In most cases, commas like to be used individually rather than grouped together in bunches of fours. They are mavericks who strike out alone, much like Jan Michael Vincent in Airwolf.

Full stops likewise, although using a group of full stops is a grammatical device to create an emphasised pause at the end of a sentence or sometimes to elide text.

When you use a group of full stops though, this doesn't mean you should plunder them like a pirate from the rest of your paragraph, leaving your post as one complete unbroken sentence (apart from the huddled gangs of commas) Scatter the full stops around a bit, let them run free. Give readers a chance to breathe.

This is not a post from the grammar police, just a few friendly pointers in case you want to post anonymously in future. I find most of your posts funny.

Have fun good postings!

James i did see that post.

My point is if you come on as a new poster onto P4C asking a question like that its quite clear you are from somewhere else, we don't need Sherlock Holmes to figure its you.

If you had just come on as Sofa-King you would, i am sure, have received a reply.

There was a problem about a year back with people creating accounts on there and accusing Angie and Davey of some very sick disturbing things, as such they are not to keen when they see a brand new poster coming out with an odd first post.

My point is you could just go on there as Sofa King and ask, there is no need to do it hidden behind a fake name.

james i find it hard to belive you seen that post it was on for a maximum of 5 min  and there was only 2 users on line at that time,if you did then ok thats good enough, but  please dont say you could tell it was me, it could have been anyone of the people from this site who is having trouble coming to terms with what they are learning about p4c.

James is a moderator on there, he has access to deleted posts.

then ok i belive him,if he would have told me that on here i would have known.

As do I

i tell you what all you m8s of p4c dont arf stick together,what happens if it is proved 100% there is a bit of skulldugery,what happens then ,,term,egg on face springs to mind

the mods on blonde cannot see ip numbers only the admin can

and i can assure you that i will never give out an ip number of a user

and can i suggest if you have a problem with mods on another board you take it up with them on there board and stop ruining another night for the blonde mods


tyvm

thanks im sure you wouldnt m8,i did apologise earlier in the thread incase someone thought i was pointing a finger m8, tbh i saw your name up in lights just now and i was going to pm you but i thought no i would answer you in the flesh lol thanks.im just so annoyed at the moment as i know there a hell of a lot of others on and of this site m8 just boiling.

wtf are you on about now?

You have made a post on here to ask about IP address's - to which I (and many others) have answered.
Yet it seems like what anyone says to you, you STILL only believe what you want to.
Therefore it is pointless talking to you on ANY subject - or so it would seem.
With this in mind, I will not answer any more of your posts, unless it is directed at me.

i started the post about ip address then everyone else moved to p4c not me so get your facts right.

Yes we are friends, its not a case of sticking together, Maureen is a friend too. You started off with accusing mods on here and you made the same accusation on the P4C forum as well. All i want to know is why you felt the need to create an anonymous account? People usually don't do that with good intentions.

As for things getting proved 100%? What exactly are you talking about? That things have not been handled professionally, that is not deniable, it has taken too long. I am upset at how things have gone, as someone who donates both money and time to P4C and has done for a long while.




Are you not pointing a finger then? This post by you on P4C seems to imply otherwise:

that was posted before i knew that not all mods, cant see your ip address,bloody hell get it in your head and you ironside ffs wake up and smell it.i was gonna come off here for good but no i wont ,,i can assure you 100% that i have no bad intetions against mods or others,i asked a question ,is your ip address private,and others have spun this into a i dont belive p4c thread ,,then so be it i will defend myself i can assure you, the sooner the better p4c gets exposed to the full the better for all ,JUST DONT KEEP ON GOING AT ME AND ACUSING MY  strong words coz a lot of people wont say on here what they think of p4c ok.I CAN TELL YOU NOW THAT IT WILL ALL COME OUT SOON .then it will be oooooh ahhhhh he was right after all and so were all the others who have decided not to post coz they may be pals with p4c,and ironside this should give you something to do .you should be more angry than anyone the amount of time and £ youve given...

contrie to my previous post it is possible thru the process of putting a ban on a member for a mod to see an ip

they cant however track ips or search ips and the process of checking out an ip to track who a person is would take

days as they would have to go through banning over 4000 members

ip banning has always manyly been left to me to do so that we dont go round banning innocent members

but it would be possible for a mod to see an ip but nearly impossible to find a member linked to an ip number

i have donated money in the past to P4C and i am a lifetime member

i have a school named after me and the kids have my name on there uniform

i cannot and will not say anything on this issue untill the G4L trustees have had time to respond

i wish everyone else will give them there time

if there responce isnt in a timely manner then of course pressure should be brought on them

to answer questions but as the trustees are volunteers we need to give them TIME

James, are you saying you rushed to an incorrect judgement and made an accusation without having considered all the facts first?

Like Iron i am neither defending nor accusing P4C, let the staff sort it out.

ok,ok i just feel nothing is being done its nearly a week mo is obviously steaming on holiday to post while she is away to say the least,i just think a week is long enough to answer this im sure if you asked rob young about sf charity,you would have a answer within an hour or 2. why so long this gives people chance to put things in order?

the P4C trustees are all volenteers we cant expect them to drop everything to answer questions

they proberly wont have a meeting since the questions were asked and proberly wont have one before christmas so everything will be done through 1 to 1 phone calls

i would hope that the questions are answered within the next 7-10 days

What he said.

I agree James it's a shame it takes this long but that is what happens when the staff are not full time.

i just thought jagster  andy last spoke about this on wednesday morning at 8.24 it has now 4 whole days and no sign of a little note to say anything on the subject is very worrying dont you think?4 days and not a word even to answer any of maureens questions.or anyone wishing to represent p4c,angie,trace,or any of there mods to explain anything ? it just dont sound right.

I imagine Andy is busy.

As for Trace or any of the mods, such as myself, we have nothing to do with the running of the charity, we are just mods for a forum.

BTW, Sofa... You wouldn't be a 'freemason' by any chance??  ;hide;

As an impartial observer the thing that boggles my mind more than anything about this is the "yes, we know the answer to your question but we're not gonna tell ya until tomorrow cos we've had a bad day at work"

I just can't imagine any job where you could say that to a customer and it would be anywhere close to being OK, let alone it being in relation to a sick child.

After reading this thread there is one thing I am still unsure of, and that is -

Have you ever registered on P4C with the computer that you created your anon account with. Regardless of the email address. Or have you never at all at any time registered with P4C.

The way I see it, if you have registered with P4C at any time from the interent connection that you used to create the anonymous account there will be a similarity (if not identical)  between your IP Addres, If this was your first ever registration on the forum (regardless of Email accounts used) then they would have no idea of the IP Address.

first registration and diffrent computer my wireless laptop to be exact.i have been informed by the powers that be there is no way that my ip address was exposed from this site,well thats good enough for me.

James, did you register under a cunning secret alias like "Kofa-Sing" or "Couch-Monarch" or "settee-Royal" ..... maybe ??

You are a silly sausage Kiv.

LMFAO

I aint read all of this yet, bit difficult with tears of laughter rolling down your face, but I must say that:

typing a post,,,,,,,,,,like this,,,,,,,,,,,,,all the time,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it doesnt,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, take a genious,,,,,,,,,,,, to work out who you really are,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


EDIT:  And cos yer the only one spreading it all over the world via different poker networks!

DOUBLE EDIT:  If anyone wants me, I'm in the P4C Forum secret room, painting it in lovely, calming pastel colours.  (PSSSTTTTTTT, YES we too have a secret room).

does it have padded walls like ours Trace?

Ours is in a little side room!

Does yours have a great big F Off punch bag suspended from the ceiling?

Ours does and Ohhhhhhhhhhh what fun I have smashing 7 shades of bleep out of that!

It doesn't work wonders for PMT tho.

we merely throw darts at images of Kev to relieve our PMT

Ooooo really? 

That sounds like fun - I'm sure throwing darts at the real Kev would work wonders for all my PMT!  lol

Can ya send me a pic over though so as I can give the pretend version a go?

when,,,,the post,,,,i ,,,typed on,,, p4c   was,,,,done ,,,,it was in,,,,capitals,,,,and ,,,,no,,,,commas,,,,so i,,dont ,,,think,,,so,,,.

i think you should think again about saying im the only one spreading this i put it here and on p4c,and i can assure you 110% there are a hell of a lot of people just waiting to jump down p4cs throat after what i have been told by very,very respectable people,when it all comes out....youll see. im suprised you havent commented on all the spin palace money gone missing ?oops sry did i hit a nerve ?

Your IP address was never given to me and is of course private and will remain so.

You are right on one thing yes I did guess it was you, also the fact that you registered under a woman's name
with a woman's email address. You then forgot the password to log into the site and made the new name of the_sausage which was then flagged up on the site.

Multiple accounts are not acceptable on the site.

I'll give ya sommat - even though you hardly ever make any sense - yer chuffin funny!

this thread is closed in my eyes it has been answered by both sides,IS YOUR IP ADDRESS PRIVATE.now i know the answers,(i think)
                                               THE END

Worth a bump for comedy value alone!!!




BUMP!

This is pure comedy and a lesson to all people on signing up to forums under different names for whatever purposes.

PS. its easy to get the IP for any one on this forum, just requires a bit of knowledge and a program.

TY Acid, this was my answer back on page 1 I believe lol
