For acc to function, they need to know the IP address of the requester. Otherwise it would be flooded with sockpuppet and vandal requests and make it useless

While this needs to be fixed, I think that this is a perfect time for ACC to discuss creating a system where user's IP addresses and private information is not revealed.

Recently there have been a few changes to the toolserver, including IPv6. Around the same time, ACC (enwp Account Creation Project) stopped
recording
request IPs and replacing them with wikimedia IPs. Examples are 91.198.174.197 and 91.198.174.208. Could it be anything from the toolserver side? I don't think we have had any changes made to the ACC
code
in the past few days (Though stwalkerster might have updated the stuff
from
the sandbox to live--though we haven't had any changes in the IP section anyways). -ManishEarth _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l@lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette
