well duh...you've got to be REALLY internet illiterate to not know that

your IP is logged when going to any website, it is logged when you log in, it is logged when you post...each and every post is logged and the IP with it...e.g. a moderator can view these things and determine a LOT...for instance if your IP is changing too much it's a sign of proxies, they of course can trace your IP to try and determine where you are from (try=you have to be aware of proxies)...they can use this IP to ban you via your IP (can't change your username, email, etc. because your IP is now banned)...then can DDOS you with the knowledge of your IP...

me, been a moderator on a few sites, an OP on DC hubs...admittedly when your an unpaid volunteer sometimes the only fun you have is jacking with assholes whose IP addy you have ;=)
