On registration the forum populates the "reg_ip" field where the ipv4 address is stored in integer form. This is a relatively new addition (2-3 versions old) so if you had forum for a longer period this field can in fact be blank.

I've just checked on this forum and all new registrations (regardless of post count) have an IP address that can be seen via the admin control panel. Now in terms of violators, in order to break forum rules people generally need to "post". Which means that tracking is necessary for message posting not lurking on the forum. I'd love to hear the danger or issues with allowing people to lurk Smile

. As far as enforcing bans, this is why registration IP is logged and the control panel I had mentioned allows you to see what IPs login X had used up until now (based on posts) and what is their registered IP address.
