the IP address is part of the current IPv4 protocol, on which most internet communications is based. Also, it is used in the original HTTP 1.1
RFC, making it one of the standard components that is being sent with each request you make. In fact, it is necessary because the webserver needs to know where to send the result to. It's as basic as that. So, yes, your IP address is checked whenever you're here. Also, the XOOPS system uses the IP address to block certain users (mainly the protector module does this). All this happens in accordance with the
XOOPS.org Privacy Policy, which is part of the
Terms of Use you agreed to when registering for this website, as well as agreed to by using his website.
So, Mr. Security (cracking websites is not security expertise IMHO), you gave your IP address all by yourself, out of your own accord, in accordance with the policies we have (which are based on the OSDN policies, so it's all in the spirit of open source).
You can share your account with Mikhail if you want, we don't monitor the IP address on that level (we haven't banned Mikhail's IP, as it would be useless). But, I'd like to point you to our
XOOPSiquette page, which lists the rules and guidelines for proper behaviour on this webiste. Rules which Mikhail blatantly and continuously ignored. The consequences are simple and clear, and they were all along.
These same rules and guidelines apply to you and everyone else. Ignore them, and face the consequences.
