Non-admins should only be able to see first two octets of IPs about infinity

[anonfagola]

By non-admins, you mean all users. Correct?

[ctrlcctrlv]

Yes. I also mean Board Volunteers~

[anonfagola]

Will write this in a bit. Will be a setting, like ids.

[bui]

what about partial hostname, too (like futaba)?

[ctrlcctrlv]

No, it'll use the permissions system. Users <= than permission level 20 can't see full IPs.

Also, on the ban page I need to add radio buttons for /16 and /24 so they can still rangeban on their boards.

Partial hostnames are a good idea - it's just since hostnames follow no guidelines we could leak more information for one user than another. So I'm thinking no hostnames at all is best.

[bui]

futaba just shows the second-level domain, so at most you'll find out the ISP and country

[bui]

@anonfagola are you still working on this?

There's a lot of ways to manage this. I'm assuming by non-admins, you mean not copypaste, and not global moderators.

There's a lot of hashing things you could do here, but they all have drawbacks.

@Lineark I believe the plan is to do this:

which will only appear for board volunteers; global volunteers get the full thing

The rdns definitely helps out there. I don't think we're dying from spam/evaders quite yet, so, things shouldn't be /too/ bad.

[anonfagola]

@bui no, im not still working on it
go ahead and do it if you'd like

[ProMcTagonist]

Why not just IDs if the full IP isn't necessary? Wouldn't they be easier to recognize at a glance too, compared to full or partial IPs? I'm not knowledgeable here, mind.

[ctrlcctrlv]

Here's how this is going to work:

New permission is going to be: $config['mod']['show_ip_less'] this will be level 20 (volunteer)
I'll elevate $config['mod']['show_ip'] to level 25 (global volunteer)

when show_ip_hash is active, only first two octets will be shown. When the IP itself is clicked, however, the URL it goes to will refer to a post which will look up the IP and hide it from the mod.

So IP will become ?/IP/b/2

direct bans won't be possible without refering to posts anymore for level 20 users

as far as hostnames go, i'll also be hiding the first 2 subdomains of them. for mine that would be...

pool-108-41-xx-xx.nycmny.fios.verizon.net => *.fios.verizon.net
