    Recently learned seriousgmod collects your IP if you make an account, it is not stated anywhere in the TOS and this info is accessable by moderators, they do not need to see it nor do I want them to see where I live. I suggest we bump that shit right up to admin+ only. Seeing as it's only useful in special occasions. and change your TOS to include everything you collect

    There is a system to prevent staff from abusing it but every website you visit collects your ip. it's how the internet works.

    Moderators do not need to see my IP nor should they even have access to it. At most only admins(maybe only leads) should

    As far as I know, the reason they see the IPS is to know if someone is alting or not. Which for Perma'd users is kinda needed.

    I remember about a year ago it was suggested to limit the ability of moderators to do this. It really only should be admin+ to prevent abuse. On select individuals, if they are cause for concern this permission will be taken away from them specifically.

    This isn't a reason of why a group of 30 moderators can save my IP at any time they want. It is only a reason of why they should collect it, put it in TOS and only show it to admin+

    A Terms of Service should not include what a website does and doesn't collect. In fact, a Terms of Service isn't even legally required, just good to have because if someone complains about their content being removed, why can't I post this, etc. then you can point to the ToS in a legal matter. What you're asking for is a Privacy Policy, which outlines what a website is for, what data they collect, how they store it, use it, and distribute it (or lack thereof). So there are no changes needed to the ToS, rather a Privacy Policy needs to be drafted.

    Exacly, with only admin+ having access to it would decrease the chance of an IP being leaked significantly

    Doxxing of this nature is both permabannable, AND illegal. So to answer you question, they'd be banned and you can report them to the authorities.

    When I was a mod I don't think I had access to accounts' IP addresses. I think I could ban by IP address for spamming but I don't think I could see the actual IP address

    But then again, I never really looked for it
