Hi, I'm a moderator of a community in ORKUT
How can I know the IP address of a member posting in the com ...
there are so many fakes making trouble in the com ... it would be
really helpful if we can find out if the persons we doubt have similar
IP address
Please the knowledgeable ones give reply
Thanks in advance
The technical answer, which for some reason hasn't been the VERY FIRST
answer * is to look at the post's header.
identify the good guy's header, and the bad guy's header.. Then look
for ways to block the bad guy. I've never had to do that before, but
if your job is moderator, then you are doing it manually, so shouldn't
be anything else to it!!
You may be able to set something up to analyse the headers
automatically though.
Different news clients have different ways of viewing the header.
It may be that viewing posts in google doesn't show all header detail,
i can't get to a news client at the moment! Forte is alright. If you
use outlook express, then maybe right click the post and click
properties. Forte is probably also right click and click something
like that.
It may give away their ip, or what NNTP host they are using, or not
using. It may look like mumbo jumbo to do you.. headers and values.
But, you should see patterns. Like the good guy always has this ip
over here, the bad guy has this. Or one of them doesn't have this.
e.t.c.
* not only that, but you even suggested that you wanted a technical
answer.. I hope somebody more technical than I can assist..
