Re^3: RFC: brig

...UNLESS the ranting paints the CB (and, by unreasonable but quite human extension, PM itself) as a fiefdom of nutcases; as a place where the unpleasantries lead a visitor to write off the site as 'too testy to bother with.'

As I said before, I like the idea; I hope we implement it, but -- even more -- hope we carefully consider the pluses and minuses. (And, of course, my {dark} notions of possible downsides may be unrealistic.)

Maybe we need more power users Hear, hear! But I like the brig idea, too. Kind of a hacker honeypot for trolls... I was also wondering if it would be possible to display a user's IP address, in a tooltip, for example. This would be ONLY for power users, gods, etc., to help disambiguate duplicate users while protecting privacy. HTH, planetscape	[reply]

WOOT! Yessss!! + + Capturing an IP (in simple cases, where there's no explicit attempt to conceal it) is an exercise frequently found in CGI tutorials so "possible" is assuredly `true`. Since The Honorable Breather of Fire is undoubtedly aware of that, perhaps the "possible" refers to the likelihood of acceptance here. If so, /me votes in the affirmative (early and often) for an idea that's overdue, given the known and suspected troll^H^H^H^H^H disgruntled Monks we've seen, of late.	[reply]
