If you really need the IP of a logged-in user, you'll need to match up
their last edit (as shown by contribs) with the web server logs. This is
somewhat annoying, and deliberately so; banning people is a serious
step, and isn't supposed to be one-click easy. (For one thing we can't
afford the patent license!)
I was just asking because I was afraid of another "Google keywords"
flood, and didn't have the time to revert them. Fortunately, it seems to
have stopped.
Maybe we could afford the patent fee if we redirect our search queries
to Amazon? That would also reduce server load ;-)
