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!

Like I keep saying: I just need to leave there permanently. RPGs are really the only thing that hold me there. And now that OpenID is allowed in Comms, I can leave and still stay few communities that aren't RPG associated.

It's actually possible to join communities with OpenID? :D Fantastic!

Also, click the above link; Supposedly they're removing the ID city/state logging...

Oh yeah, with your Dreamwidth OpenID account on LJ you can join a community, moderate a community, maintain a community, own a community, create a community, and post to a community. Literally the only difference between a regular account and an identity account now is that your identity account doesn't have a journal on LJ and you won't be able to switch to a Basic account.
