IP

Why is it necessary for the moderator’s to see my IP address? ???

It is primarily used for tracking and effectively blocking Spammers. :slight_smile:

Okay but what do you track?

Spammers

Thanks.

do you have caller ID on your phone?
why?

No :wink:
But I do use the “Do not Call” service. :slight_smile:

Yes, on both phone lines.

Was this directed at me or bob3160?

You, and I believe what Pondus may have been getting at is that the forum IP monitoring is similar in how you use caller ID on your phone - to know who’s calling! :wink: and all forums monitor your IP by the way, not just avast.

Correct craig. :wink:

avast (any forum) reasons for doing it… the same as yours
