Does Cannabis.com log IP addresses or personal data?

[ThunderStorm]

would like to know.

if I post pics can it be traced to my ip or can anyone find me in short.

Yes, it logs your IP address; all websites do. And, no, nobody can use your IP address to find you in realspace without the cooperation of law enforcement. But don't worry. Cops don't care if you post here.

Overgrow says they do not log IP. I think it would be good if this site does as well, it should be cannabis.com best intrest not to for the security of the members

[Beeblebrox.420]

Nah. IP address is nothing. Mine is 4.152.75.159. Do your worst. :D

[xNoa]

yeh they log your ip, and have a special program that traces ip to address, they then mail the police a list of people who have accessed the site more then 5 times with full details, address, number etc

And if you believe that, you've been watching way too much CSI. lol

its true and even more apparent on overgrow, high-level law enforcement request the sites to do this, and they have no choice, this is where ALOT of busts happen, and people think someones just grassed em in

I think you can disable cookies, and that might solve the whole IP address thingy. You would just have to log in manuall to the site everytime you wanted to join a discussion. But most growers, I think will vouch this is a safe hevean

[Beeblebrox.420]

its true
No, it's not true. Stop spreading alarmist bullshit. I've worked in the IT industry. IP tracing does not work that way. Only law enforcement can get your ISP to reveal your identity to them, and only with a court order. It takes days or even weeks, not seconds. Unless Overgrow owns their own server(s) and has chosen to disable IP logging, they theoretically do have access to your IP information.

And hello, Mr. 24.111.82.201! Nice try, but my firewall has kept you out. Naughty, naughty! Tsk, tsk.

Disabling cookies will not hide your IP addres from webservers. You can only do that indirectly, via a proxy server. You can also theoretically falsify outgoing data packets with a bogus IP address, but since you cannot receive any return packets, it's very difficult to accomplish anything useful.

lol just a visual trace route :p I traced my own too "nottin". The thread had me wondering but all i got was your ISP provider :) :D I'm an admin on another board so just curious.

I would'nt worry people. :p

[xNoa]

yeh i wasnt being serious.. yer safe mate

It would be rather hard to use any info on these boards to get LEO interested.Nothing said here can justify any law involvement.Unless you have corroborating evidence, its all hearsay.I can claim to do any number of illegal acts,but it means nothing.And nothing said or supposedly done by us can justify any level of investigation.The law does not allow for "fishing excursions".
The fact none of use do anything in our homes just makes it even harder to investigate.

If you are on dial up you'll get a new IP address everytime, so fear not. If you are that freaked out, even though you've no need to be, got to a tech website and read up on spoofing.
