CALL FOR MODERATORS

No silliness here. Your confident wrongness on this point sends a stronger signal of malicious intent by the minute. Maybe just knock it off.

I just don’t like fear mongering about insignificant things like public IP addresses. I assure you I’m right on this.

You do realize it's technically possible for the LDS church to keep a log of IP addresses associated with members who log in to LDS websites? It's not just technically possible, it's trivial. It's also trivial to share that information with the Strengthening the Church Members Committee.

And no one has ever said "through IP address alone." You know perfectly well what people are saying.

Good. Then we can put to rest the concern of moderators having access to IP addresses. It’s meaningless. I’m glad you finally came around.

So you think because only when IP addresses are combined with other information is there a risk, this means that allowing an untrustworthy person access to IP addresses is no risk?

Keep digging that hole for yourself.

No more than your online username, a linguistic idiosyncrasy, or any other random data point.

That would provide no useful information except a bunch of numbers.

"Hey look, this Stake President logged into LDS services with the same IP we got from a moderator at that atheist website Peterson keeps watch over"

Hey Sledge

I must admit, it isn't looking very good for you but just so you know, Shades and Shades alone will be making these mod decisions (And I for one am comforted by that fact)

Anyway, I'm not sure how to ask you this, so I'll just ask: Since you probably don't really need those buttons anymore, can I have one?

I’m not sure why proving that IP addresses are meaningless data points make it “not look good” for me.

My apologies, I wasn't talking about IP addresses or data points - I was talking about Shades those people who told you "no" about being a mod.

But what about the button?

So the guy who assures everyone that IP addresses are "meaningless data points," unless of course they are combined with other information, wants access, "for just 90 days!" to everyone's IP addresses.

Oh, and he's very sorry he said Shades' board is home to anti-Mormon bigots. I would assume he's also sorry he called our board "a festering cesspool," a phrase, coincidentally, that is common among mopologists. He did say that when he likened Shade's site to Stormfront, he was actually referring to Shades' OTHER site, so that makes it okay.

All of this just keeps adding up to more and more concerns about why this guy wants so desperately to just be granted access to the highest levels of our board, as he says,'just for a trial period!'
