I use this now to check up on iffy Posters: Attachment 129565
I use JSON for a range of things - red search.
Others might prefer a CSV version - green search.
I did think of The Matrix (blue and red) but i'll save that for another day.
The bottom Link is more for us Mods to see if the Poster has been caught elsewhere.
Modding may not be glamorous but the pay's rubbish too.

Thank you Acorn, now I just need to figure out how to use it.
The IP address for any post is in the lower left of the post, hover over the IP icon and the address will appear.
I use InfoSniper https://www.infosniper.net/ to check the IP address and then Stop Forum Spam https://www.stopforumspam.com/search to see if that IP address has been flagged for spam.
If the member is using VPN (Virtual Private Network) then this is useless because the IP address can be made to appear to anywhere. I have seen some here that show up in the middle of a large lake on the InfoSniper map.
Moderators can also look up member info and see if that member has posted from other IP addresses.
We're like Bellingcat on a very tiny scale.
Thank you, Gary I knew most of this if not all.
I am passing on a tool that non-Mods could play with.

Not working with FF Acorn (I sound like the Grim Reaper with this regular announcement).
Interestingly on checking my ip address 86.157.249.251 I'm on the blacklist! It's a dynamic address set up through my isp.
Someone trying to make a quick buck?
Egg, sorry, I voided the other two links.Quote:

I've checked your IP and it does come up with two hits.
https://www.blacklistmaster.com/ reports four.
https://www.dnsbl.info/dnsbl-database-check.php has no marketing and I get two again.
I would agreed that as it is dynamic, some earlier user could have been a spammer.
I've never checked mine but feel free.

Wow! You even live in a Forum. Impressive.
Yes you've been a naughty boy too. I take it your IP is supplied by BT as well and is dynamic?

Add in the Post of one was answered in under 3 minutes by the other.
