Is it legal to track IP addresses from our fellow blocklanders without permission?
why would you want to

Your IP is public information, by joining a server or even visiting a website you're publicly giving your IP away. Yes, it's 100% legal though I don't know why you'd want to.


it's legal - IP addresses are public and cannot reveal the specific location of someone, only the region they are in.

It's not legal, Badspot will come to your house and arrest you

Calling someone who doesn't know something you do "less intelligent" is harsh.

I could understand why you would want to do this. Say you want to confirm someone's location or you want to see what state they live in

They can be damn accurate. A lot of them are within a mile of their real residence, some are literally right on top of their homes.

Okay, most of them I see are considerably off but I guess that that's also true

Depending on what type of connection the person has, it can be pretty accurate.
