IP tracking

1. IP tracking

   #1

   Been keeping a paper list of requests and as I have time I will knock out this and that depending on how much time I have.
   
   The latest I did was add IP tracking to the comments.
   
   Only the admins can see all of them.
   The authors can see their own IP displayed to them.
   
   So, basically anybody that can edit that post has the ability to view the IP since I tied it into the same logic test as the Edit ability.
   
   Just didn't want you to think that everybody sees everybody else's IP.
   
   Clicking on the link will open the forum IP tracking thing which should be enough for now. Later I will tie it into the Citadel IP tracking so that you can view it that way.
   
   Remember, admins have been transferring stuff for awhile so it will be that certain admins IP will show up in other's posts. That will be normal for all the transitioned submissions and comments.
   
   The IP was intermittent for a bit but I fixed the script so there should be IPs on everything from now on. I have NOT put an IP in the actual submission portion but will hit that some time soon since it is a quick addition.

   Really dislike the IP tracking for anything except barbarian hordes.

   Well, it is the same as the forum and we can keep our eye out for 'suspicious' postings. If they know and see we are tracking I think it will greatly impact any thought of dishonesty which we have had in the past, obviously, but unproveable.
   
   Really shouldn't effect anything though, just like having nuclear warheads. Don't intend to use them, mostly a deterrent, but if pushed to the brink and we are forced...well, it will be handy to have them........although in this case the entire civilization won't be destroyed.
