[imc-scotland-discussion] fwd: request for removal of comments

as far as i know, the DadaIMC software has the capability to capture IP
addresses but this is currently, and has always, been turned off. (It
was on for a couple of days of heavy spam pre-"Captcha" days.)When it is
used, it stores IPs as "hashes" (i.e. encrypted), so they can't even be
viewed by site admins.

as far as the Server logs, I guess they're in Greece somewhere, and
given it's a server that hosts other IMCs, I'd lay money on the logs
being regularly wiped. (But I'd like to hear for sure from someone who
knows...)
