Comment IP

• Users who have enabled Comment IP logging will now also see the Country and City information of the commenter. This information is only visible to the journal owner, community owner/maintainers, or author of the entry if it is posted to a community with this feature enabled (only those who can currently see IP information). This feature is providing the publicly available geo-location associated with the IP address in the same way the "location" feature on our Update page currently functions.

Edit: Message received! We're in the process of removing this change right now.  I am positively surprised how quick LJ backtracked.

Edit 2: The change is now live on the site; country and city information is no longer being displayed with the IP logging feature.

Edit 3: New poll at http://lj-feedback.livejournal.com/16181.html regarding IP logging!

Deleted long ago. So as long as it doesn't affect comments from dead LJ accounts I'm hoping to be good.

It does, or so I've heard. Check out this comment thread for additional info.

Well, fuck. LJ sucks. And I'll be one of those people sending them a very nasty email.

Considering they aren't getting anymore of my money it probably won't make a difference but it'll still be worth making my voice heard and letting them know shit like this is why I left.

Oh crap, really? Perfectly unreal. *imagines people with comments from me dating back to 2006-2010 looking at my location - Jesus Christ, I guess it's already too late, since people had a few days to peek before LJ File 13ed it?*

Holy crap. And again: holy crap. LJ sucks.
