riccars Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hey admins and question answering friends, by the end of this month I'm going to be in a college dorm. My internet will be off my colleges provided internet. I'm willing to bet its rather probable that the IP i get was already used for a CN account. What would be my best course of actions? If i provided my new IP when I got it, could I be told what Nation(s) have logged on with it so I know to never interact with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedestro Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Then I would bet a hundred bucks against you since you're probably wrong I've heard of a bunch of people in similar situations say the same thing. And it's just unlikely as heck tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riccars Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 i know what you mean but i wanna play it safe. the odds of getting a 'used' IP are very slim, then interacting with the other guy unknowingly is like winning the lottery. but people do win the lottery. i just think of it as being overly careful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choader Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Neither the Admin or mods will tell you that, it would open up a whole can of worms with the privacy issues. If you think about it, do you really think you could produce an IP and be givin a list of everyone who's used it? I'm pretty sure it would be illegal.

If you think about it, do you really think you could produce an IP and be givin a list of everyone who's used it? I'm pretty sure it would be illegal. not if you're a big corporation seriously though, I'd just PM a mod from the college once you get there. I know my college gives different IPs to different people. I COULD see a potential problem if your college goes out through a singe IP, but I have no idea what problems since I don't have that issue.

America Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'm going the same route, but as long as you have declared ahead of time who you are and where you are, I think you'll be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvenStar Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 You won't get information about IP's. We get this question all the time. Don't interact with anyone at the same college, and whenever possible log in from your home computer (which you know only has 1 account). Its the best option you have. It's not 100% secure, but you have little choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desperado Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I'm going to college as well...I'll prolly just message teh admin to make sure when I get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarinch Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Having delt with this issue before; The course of action to take is the following: Log onto the forums from the computer(network) you'll be logging in on. PM a mod asking if this IP is okay to play on. Get a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
