If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
: : I don't consider what country you live in to be 'personal', but if I did offend you am I sorry on that. The reason that rule was put up was because people were posting information about people so that the person would get picked on, and mostly to tick people off. This was not my intentions, but rather to make a point by defending you stating that you and lucifer may not be the same person, but yet using the same ISP in croatia.
: : As far as IP's go, we do log Ip's, and only for the reason that if anything (such as people accusing people of having two accounts) comes up, we have physical proof of the truth. This is not only a protection for the people who don't break the rules, but also a defense for the site if we ever have to do the horrible deed of banning someone. With the IP's we can see if anyone else but the trouble maker will be banned and we can fore see these problems. Anyways, IP's aren't personal information, anyone that is on the internet can have their Ip checked, it is not against any laws, nor is it a violation of anyones privacy, these are the ways of the net.

: however, my ip isnt the same everytime I post, well. I need to change ip to hide myself
: But I wish they stopped checking ips, nothing good can become of it. Because somebody will use your ip and do illegal stuff, and next morning the police is front of YOUR house, not the bad guy... mmm...
Yeah, if you haven't been following common sense and installed either a hardware or a software firewall, yeah. IP Spoofing is just ridicolous, and by all means, it should be illegal (and I think it is), say you do something illegal with a spoofed IP that actually belongs to someone else. Then what? He will be the one charged for the crime. Brilliant, eh? More examples can be found by searching for "ip spoofing" if you care.
