DO YOU ONLY HAVE TO BE A WPC MOD TO IP BAN? I TRIED IT ON MY SITE AND IT DIDN'T WORK. Do you find this valuable?

"DO YOU ONLY HAVE TO BE A WPC MOD TO IP BAN? I TRIED IT ON MY SITE AND IT DIDN'T WORK."
First off, please do not use all caps. It's considered yelling.

Secondly, if a member on your site posts Anonymously and you're Mod, Admin, or Creator, you can see their I.P. If they brake your rules, or whatever, you can ban them. Now, if they don't post/edit Anonymously, and you want them I.P Banned, you will need to ask Jeremy to do so. But, it must be for good reason to I.P ban them.

Wetpaint Central Moderators have no power outside of this site.

Any of us Moderators can IP ban anonymous users on Wetpaint Central, actually.

Only anonymous user's IP addresses will be seen by moderators in up. The word anonymous that normally appears next to the post will be replaced with the IP address. A moderator or up cannot IP ban a user that is signed in. If your wiki is setup for no anonymous post, then the feature of IP banning doesn't apply.

See this page for IP Banning.

You can allow people to post threads anonymously on your site by going to Permissions under Settings. (It is avaliable for ALL Wetpaint sites.)

You need to change your settings. if your settings for posting discussions and/or editing
pages are set to 'anyone, even anoyomously' then people may post anoyomous threads and you MAY IP ban them.
