Ok so ban vaders (lightsaber not included) seem to be able to slip past admin fairly easy.
I think that if the admin could search ip addresses like we can search tags and comments and users it would certainly help nail them to the floor before they can start trouble.
I mean right now I think the only way to tell is to individually check, have them fail at hidding or broadcast it in order to catch them.

Admin janitors leme know what you think. Aurial leme know if its poss

Admins likely know right away but wait until someone actually does something in order to not ban innocents. For example, shared IPs.

Well the problem is some of these banned users have a dynamic ip address, so you cant really tell.

This tool already exists

There's just no effective way to stop it, IPs are dynamic and there's thousands of proxies.

Get offa Mah thread reaper.
No one click that, I imagine they linked it to an ip grabber.

Actually not, is a screencap of the Search IP tool (which I doubt its existence)

Fun fact, on firefox if you place your mouse over the link it shows the url on the bottom left part of the screen. (at least for me)

From my understanding it exists, yet only certain lvl admins can view it.

Actually there are programs on the Internet where you upload an image, then link it to a forum and anyone who happens to OPEN the link has their IP grabbed by the program, logged and able to be viewed at the grabber website.

In Opera happens too

What level? Afaik levels go like this:
Unactivated>Blocked>Member>Privileged>Contributor>Test Janitor>Janitor>Mod>Admin

Mod level have few utilities regarding users in comparison to Admin level (which have complete control of users), leaving the idea (as I said in forum #96997) that r.e. is an admin

Is a link to the image in imgur. If that were the case the link would go to tinyurl or any other link shortening service to mask the real url

An admin once told me only the head admin could check ips...than a bit later said only certain admins. I am not sure if its changed again or not.
