So their VPNs and accounts are useless
Actually
You could work that into a bot now that I think about it
Time to make an anti-VPN bot that auto-bans people using VPNs
If only bots could read IP addresses
that would be gr8
Yeah, discord doesn't want to do that
I dont see why they wouldnt though
I think its reasonable
To let any administrator view IP addresses
Then you can make bots like the one I mentioned
Hell no. I don't want them having that info
IP addresses dont even say anything about you
They give a location, and an isp
As an ex-manager of a community of 60k people, I can tell you that letting people see your IP wont do you any harm at all
Unless
They have a VPS loaded with some trash DOS.py script or something
Anybody with $2.50 can DOS you
But its expensive if you do it a lot because of bandwidth
Tiem to bring it back.

I can probably still find the stat hold on
Nope
Vultr shut my account down and wiped all my servers 😦
But yeah, unless they're some skid trying to DOS random people (Which people dont do that because it costs a lot of money) I dont see any problem with letting admins see IP addresses
People with it can track isp and the city you live in, that's about it
Yeah, that gets you really close to identify someone in the US. It takes almost no info to do that
Anybody with your first and last name can track you down
You email grants far more info than any IP address
When you hear something so unbelievably stupid
Used an email to type into Facebook, user now has your general location, family members to contact, your name, etc. Type in that name or family members names into Whitepages and you get addresses, phone numbers, etc.
If I ever wanted somebody's personal info, I never used their IP, despite having access to it
I used their email
Well that sounds terrible.
I didnt do it for bad reasons
As the community manager, I had to make sure that my staff members weren't being DOSed by kids
Somebody confessed to DOSing one of them, so I found all his personal info and used it to get him to stop
I mean in general. That could be really bad if someone got that info
Because all computers are protected under law, DOS is a felony in most states
They'd have to know what to do with it. But you can't get any of that from an IP address
