Shroomery IP log deletion?
    #5487676 - 04/06/06 08:09 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Do you delete your logs after a certain amount of time? And if not, why?

Yes, as indicated in our privacy policy we briefly keep access logs for security and administrative purposes and then they're deleted. However, when you make a post on the BB your IP is permanently associated with that post. That's how the BB has always worked, and this information is useful for tracking down trolls and puppets. We could store a hash of the IP instead of the address itself, which in threory adds another hurdle for anyone that's nosing around. In practice though, it offers little more than a false sense of security. Any time you visit a website, you leave a trail with your ISP, the site's hosting provider, and any servers your request bounces through en route. Nobody needs us to tell them that you visited on 4/6/06 8:09 PM and made a post. Your ISP will be more than capable of furnishing that information. That's why there's no substitute for tools like SSL, encrypted PMs and proxy servers.

Peace,

-Y

Shroomery SSL is only available to supporters, due to the overhead of the encrypted connection. However, secure PMs are always sent over SSL whether you're a supporter or not.
