I'm sure you are being quite objective.... I'll say it again though. All I understood was that vbulletin required a moderator to see the IP address or the email address. I'm not quite sure if the fella had said he'd been traced by IP address rather than email. I just put 2 and 2 together and got the 5 that it must have therefore been a mod who looked up the IP and either passed it on or tracert'd it to find the ubr. Now that I know others have moderator access other than the actual 'moderators' I wouldn't have said that but you can maybe understand why I said it ? in that to get the ip in vbulliten you need to be a moderator.
I'm glad to be wrong, and all it would take is someone being reasonable and explaining nthellworld.com now has other people with moderator access who are not accountable in the same way neil, ben etc are. Thats all it took, it didn't take accusing me of stirring, bypassing the swear filter and giving me abuse.
I just thought they might have passed the IP information along since they were the only people (that I knew of) who could do that. As for thinking that it may have been a moderator who flagged it upto the bosses, was just thinking about the way that vbulliten works and who deals with 'reported posts'.
