I guess I would argue that unless the other party has the same ability to be "mischievous", revealing personal information is an abuse of your moderator power.

SaundersBucky wrote:You are over analyzing my answer. I don't think that my saying that poster A and poster B post from the same location is exactly revealing personal information, especially when poster B is using his new ID to screw around with people on Buckyville. Yuku actually has a setting that allows every post's originating IP address to be displayed, which is far beyond what I've ever revealed. We could turn that on if it floats your boat.
