IS Cannabis.Com Safe...Do the Cops Log in????

Nope, they can track your IP address which gives your area, but if they went to your ISP company the cops could take them to court and get them to provide the info of who own thats IP address, if it came to it.

Today in the paper it was disclosed that President Bush has ok'd spying on American citizens electronic messages. It's been on going for five years. He said it was for the war on terror. Right. Dont post or type anything incriminating.

Anything is always possible. Just look at how Bush gave permission to
illegally spy on us. Whatever. Unless you're doing some serious shit, you're
fine. I can guarantee cops come in here, because it would almost be stupid
for them not to. I imagine it's probably some sort of free tool for some DEA
or law enforcement agents to learn the lingo and familiarize themselves with
real drug using people hahaha. The sad part is I'm not joking.

If someone was to do something like threaten Bush or something big like that,
then they would probably stop at nothing to find out who you are location,
etc. They can't really just see things, because for instance your message
postings for instance may not have your IP logged. Because this is a
vbulletin site they really are, but if you look at the html that's output, you're
IP address isn't revealed. Unless of course someone has privileges.

With vbulletin (and virtually any other forum software or server script) your
IP address is logged and people with permission (admin, sometimes
moderators, etc.) can view them. From an IP address government agents
can basically find you, but you can make it harder for them by using a proxy,
etc.

My reason for saying anything is because on my website I have it setup
where I am the only person at all who has access to IP logging for the
posts. I do have options to allow my moderators the same privileges (and
some sites let the public view them) but I feel for the safety, security and
privacy of my users, I would rather be the only person with this access.

I imagine Cannabis.com would hide IP addresses from the moderators,
because you just never know who will do what to become a moderator so
they have access to all of your users IP information.

Does any of this I said make sense? :stoned:

[Easy Roller]

I won't pretend that it does! But your sounding as though we should get a bit paranoid. These computer nerds who work for the feds can HACK into stuff and reveal our IP's [whatever they are] or am i just spoiling the party with philasophical angles ?

[HvyFuel]

No. Yes.

Yes, just call me DS Miggoll..............
