--- Comment #23 from Ajraddatz <[email protected]> --- I think that the most useful application of this log would be with IPs, thus accessible by CheckUser only (keeping in mind Jackmcbarn's valid observation with which I agree). If we were to disallow any action which could infer IPs to usernames then we'd need to disable anonymous editing entirely. I don't think that it would be more useful to hide the IPs from the log but make it CheckUser-able. Far better to be able to easily see which IP is trying to create those usernames so that it can be blocked to prevent abuse. Otherwise it would be impossible to check the IP until after an account had been made, and thus we'd be getting back into reactive rather than proactive territory. Nonpublic information-granting tools are defined as "tool[s] that permits them to view nonpublic information about other users". Jackmcbarn's point here that this would never occur, due to any accounts listed in the log not being created, is important IMO. That said, if this is too much of a stretch, it would still be good to be able to see the log without IPs so I think that implementing it in some form would be a positive. The TBL is largely useless with no way to see its impact. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
