Just wondering about this.
yea
Mods could probably dox you if they wanted to
is there any way to prevent mods from seeing ips entirely
Use a VPN, they work best.
im helping start a new discourse forum and i want to prevent mods from seeing ips
any way that can happen?
If you can’t trust your mods with seeing people’s IPs then they shouldn’t be a moderator in the first place.
I’m not even sure if there is a way to hide them from mods since there are literally logs for them. You also would have to make them not be able to view IP bans at all.
no, just in case
What’s the worst that could happen, an ip leak? Nobody’s gonna spend a shit ton to DDos an individual and ips can only narrow down your city. Maybe DNS spoofing but dnc.
I trust the mods, all the forum mods atleast, but it is a little discomforting that you guys can see my ip
I mean, any moderator with good intent would not look at a user’s IP unless they find something suspicious about their account or behavior.
Not everyone has good intent, even if they seem like they do, but I trust the moderators won’t dox anyone
