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!

I left LJ over the Facebook crossposting thing. My paid LJ is due to run out in a matter of days, and this has decided me: I will not be returning to LJ, I will not be paying out good money for a site that doesn't care one iota for the privacy of its userbase... and I am considering deleting my LJ once and for all.

DW is smaller, but it's definitely the place to be, especially as I can't see LJ learning from its past mistakes. If it back-tracked on the Facebook thing, I might consider going back - I miss the comms I was part of - but it will take at least an action of that magnitude.
