curious?

Is it legal to post someones ip address in a forum?

[sdani]

depends on why are you posting that IP.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, passion4storms.

Let's imagine the possibility that someone here at WW were to post what appeared to be an excerpt from a logfile, showing the visit of an email harvester. Let's further imagine that the harvester appeared to have come from the IP address of another member. That other member would not be particularly amused to read that. And Brett (our host) would not be particularly amused to see that member express her or his lack of amusement.

My brother was going on a game forum and he would post on there. someone else wrote some mean things about the site owner after making a brand new name, and They tried to blame my Brother for doing it cause the other person had the same ip address. turns out They both had AOhell and it came up with the same ip address for two people. well.. someone had let them know that's what happens with aol. They still thought He did it and posted his ip address for everyone to see.
