Can I be tracked after posting on Shroomery?
    #27496177 - 10/07/21 02:16 PM (2 years, 3 months ago)

Can the police track my IP or whatever, from my posts on Shroomery? There is a checkbox saying "Make this post anonymously." Does that remove just my username or all my details?

I guess the police have better things to do with their time, but I'd like to know.

Anything you ever do on the internet can be tracked.  The anon box means nobody can see you but big brother.  You didn’t hear this from me I was never here.

The forum still logs an IP address that cops can request to have logs if they need access to it.

Technically yes, but as a practical matter, no.    It is quite difficult to get a user's IP address without PM'ing them a link that they would need to click on.

Another way they could get it is traffic analysis, but with all the people using the site and the strong SSL encryption, this would be nearly impossible.

They could subpoena the webserver logs, but they aren't kept a long time, and this site has only received one subpoena in our history, and it was for a child custody case.

There's no evidence that the police have any interest in the Shroomery - the internet is full of people with drugs - there are many ways to get busted, but posting on Shroomery likely to be one of them. 

People get busted when they get pulled over for a traffic violation with mushrooms, or give mushrooms to an informant, or have a fire/burglary that causes police to enter their house.  Nearly 100% of busts are due to these three reasons.
