voat among other things log your ip address for undefined time (forever?)
given the nature of the website its a dangerous practice and i suggest ip data to be immediately anonymized for stats and actual ips to be deleted.
@puttitout, what do you think? if there more that could be done to protect voat users in the unfortunate event of a hack or seizure?

No, not really. Your ISP logs which address is mapped to which customer at which times. This is why subpoeanas to get an IP address's location work.
Without the ISP's aid it's still enough to narrow it down to your city, which is bad enough.

Except you said before ISP records...
I can quote your post precisely, if you're confused.

records, noun. synonymous with logs, noun
Is your confusion abating?
