The IPs are blocked.
So are AOL IPs. Is there also a policy of blocking anyone who has
ever used AOL?
If being able
to identify admins is that important, we should consider
if the OTRS show-the-foundation-your-ID should be extended to normal
admins.
As I said earlier, that provides no security because anyone could fax
a copy of a friend's ID instead. The only thing that tends to pin
someone down is their IP address. There are ways around that, to be
sure, for the technically savvy. But most people aren't.
Wouldn't you put someone using TOR to hide their IPs into the
technically savvy group, though?
