that is all fake...........I am skilled at computers and stuff.....I even asked my bro who is a computer technician......they cannot possibly in any way trace and find your identity..........the worst they can do is block you and kick you out of cc............but I am still not encouraging anyone to do it because getting kicked off cc is horrible............since it is a wealth of info.,..........

^ But the only way they'd be able to get your IP address in the first place is if CC supplies it, which CC already stated that it won't do. But if you post enough info, they might be able to track you down by your profile/posts.
| They can get your IP address by other means (such as tricking you into visiting a link), although that can be unreliable if the person becomes privy to their intentions. Quote: |

| Uh, no, it's very possible. For example, through a quick search I found that your name is proooobably Phillip, and if so you live in Vancouver, WA. Anyway, that's just an example; as I've said before, with good cause they can get all sorts of information from your ISP.

An ISP would not give away personal information just because somebody says that this IP address violated the rules of a specific forum on the internet.

Except it doesn't just violate the rules of a forum. I'm not saying whether you can get that information or not but you sign the form on the AP book saying that you won't talk about it and therefore violate an agreement with a company and not just with a forum.

sorry yatta, you were 0% close. wrong city, wrong name, wrong state---and I asked so many computer techs [friends of mine] and they told me that cc is trying to scare you, trust me! There is no possible way and that dude that said he was caught and was never able to take another ap test again--he lied.

My friend's dad is a computer programmer, one of the top computer guys at IBM or something (don't know, don't care) and he said you can get almost everything from your IP address.

Why can't we just get over it? IP address shows who you internet provider is. Only reliable if you're not using a proxy or an IP changer program. The internet provider could be located in the same state or even city as you, or the company could be in another state (or country) altogether. Granted, if the person tracking you is persuasive enough, they could probably get some information from the internet provider, but in order to really identify you, they'd need a court order...

^And they really can't get a court order since the IP address is to be the evidence anyway, and thus they would not have any evidence in the request for the court order.

I doubt you can trace someone through IP alone.
