Top Cats Hat Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 3 hours ago, apelike said: As far as SF is concerned, I don't think they do IP tracking. They must do. I know someone who shared a flat with someone who had been banned from SF and she could never register an account with SF, presumably because she was sharing an IP address which had been previously flagged by SF. 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated most people have dynamic IP's and not static ones. If you want a static one you usually need to apply to the ISP for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at my logs and since June my IP has change 11 times. Mine doesn’t change much. It’s an important consideration though. They could associate multiple IP addresses per account, am sure the user DB could handle it; the main flaw would be when two different people are allocated the same IP at different points in time...
