This is no longer needed. As
https://en.wiki.aktivix.org/IMC-Drupal/Development/Hiddens now located
at http://drupal.org/project/hidden solves the problem.

This does apply if people don't control their own server. If they do it
would be better to apply the RiseUp patch mentioned in the
https://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/ImcDrupalDevAnonymization page.
This solves the problems of Apache Logs (esp. Error logs) at the same
time as solving Drupal getting IPs.

If you do not fully control your own server, in addition to the patch,
do change Apache log settings so that it does not keep error logs and
uses a No IP custom log:
(in main apache section)
# This is for the log format, a format that doesn't contain IP addresses:
LogFormat "noip - - %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"
%T %V" noi
(in the vhost section)
    CustomLog /var/log/apache/site-access_log noip
    # error logs always contain IP addresses
    ErrorLog /dev/null
If you don't do this you are keeping IP address, and not even in a way
useful to you - just potentially for others.
