Are you a stalker? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

on the topic of IP's...
Another board I'm on, where I knew the webmaster/administrator, got some mails of a rather aggravating nature by someone, we'll call him X, who disliked the team we were discussing. The administrator traced X's IP back to a large, well-known company, and, just to let X know he was being watched, politely sent a brief mail to the company outlining the situation, and explaining the possible need to block the company's IP. The company wrote back and responded that X had been given a 'most severe' reprimand, and if he ever toed out of line on the forum, to please let the company know because such behaviour would not be tolerated.
In short, knowing X's IP was enough to get him within a hair's breadth of losing his job.
And no, I don't stalk anybody, but I have a long shortlist of people who's posts I'll stop to read while skimming through those topics with 300+ posts
