Hi Waterwecna,

I don't know who is the right person to contact, so I chose the first admin listed. I hope it is okay.

I have noticed that when anonymous users write a comment here on the Merlin wikia, their ip address can be seen by everyone. It took few seconds until I noticed that the "famous" A Lurker in the Woods is not a registered member but an anonymous user...LOL... Anayway, when I clicked one of the Lurkers, I saw the ip address and I don't know if it is even allowed to show an ip address in public without permission. The point is, that I think that when there is the opportunity to post an anonymous comment, it should be anonymous indeed, but here the registered members are more anonymous than the unregistered ones. Moreover, when an unregistered user posts here, they are not being notified that when they do their ip address will be shown to everyone.

I was wondering why?

Thanks for your time :-)
