This is true. I'll say it one more time and then stop Smile

It's merely a clue to someone's origin. If you have a troublesome user from ntl and you see that a user is from their network (reverse the dns) then you can start to keep an eye on them. I've found it useful in the past. For that matter I found it useful today when a user registered two names from one ip. He then posted to my forum using two different web cafes one for each name. I would have been off his scent had I not known that both accounts had been registered from one ip.

I'll hack it myself. I'm just loathed to break something that makes upgrading a nightmare. When I hack, it truly is hack Smile
