I should be a legislator, I could do pretty well with da law round here.

Anyone find it weird that to get into TNP you have to apply to become a citizen, and they also know if your using a un-wired IP address? How do you know what their IP is? Why do you need a citizenship when places like TSP don't use them, I mean seems pretty dictatorish no?

-Administrator-level roles on forums usually are able to access the IP addresses of their users. In the TSP Forum's case, forum administrators and the Legislator Committee have access to such information.
-Different regions do things differently, get over it. :P

IPs as in not trying to find where you live, it's more of a code for your computer so important people know that it's alway you.

You can trace IP's though, therefore if some forum admin wanted to get revenge, cheese in the mail wouldn't be fun lets just say

Yes, exactly.

Why would one of our forum admins, who are totally trusted, want to get revenge on a user? Also, the software they use to geolocate is not that accurate, and only tells the name of whatever large city you live closest to.

(Disclaimer: I know this stuff not because I'm a forum admin, but because I have talked to Fihami, who is a member of the Legislator Committee, about this, just to make sure my IP address and geographical location are all safe and sound :P)

Nothing, except that the RMB suddenly becomes messed up if you open it.

Well whenever I open it, it sends me to some random spam message. So I think I do have it.
