IMPORTANT: IP Address Monitoring/Banning

I just wanted to let everyone know that the underlying platform for 1Eyed Eel has just introduced IP address monitoring and banning.

This has a couple of implications. Firstly, I'll be able to identify if your using multiple profiles. Secondly, if you get suspended or banned it will be at an IP address level. Thirdly, if you make defamatory or threatening comments and someone wants to make an issue of it now, there's a good chance you'll be able to be tracked down.

I have no intention or time to go crawling through IP address trying to identify those people using multiple profiles and it's not something that particularly concerns me. HOWEVER, if I believe a profile is a fake and has simply been set-up for the purposes of harassment or other behaviour that contravenes the code of conduct, I do reserve the right to do an IP search. And do realise that if you are banned from here-on it, it is going to be far more difficult to get back in.

Secondly, if you make any comments that are defamatory in nature, and I get a request from the police or other such authority, then your IP address will be able to identified.

I'm going to add this to the Code of Conduct information, so as all people are aware because I think its important people realise that they may not be as anonymous as they were previously.

"Poppa, I won't claim to have read all the posts but I don't see what Wiz finds objectionable in what I've said. Without lab results of dosage we don't know if JAC was driving impaired. Cocaine remains detectable in the system long after effects have…"

"Name the crazy claims I've made, Wiz. My bet is you can't. Put differently, you don't grasp points made but instead of just trying harder it's "that's crazy". "

"We did go for him? It was news months ago. I mean sure handy for us but also Penrith have refused to use him and he has been in top 30 for 3 years? For us could have been a nice player to have and see how he went but also could have been same as…"

Well done Phil. Donnsta and I will certainly refrain from harrassing anybody from now on.

  I've already reported you two to Phil...
  
  I always thought there were similarities, but you always seemed a bit nicer to me than Donnsta so I couldn't be sure.

I thought there would be more than five people reply to this in the first hour....

Maybe they're busy deleting accounts or setting up new ones at their friends place :)
