Suggestion Please Hide Users' Ip Hash

    Displaying a hash of users' IP addresses is better than showing the IP address itself, but I don't really understand why is it visible at all. Especially to everyone, not only to registered members (I guess that this way search engines are able to index this information). It would make sense to display the IP hash in the business section but since there is an option to use anonymizers, proxies etc. it is useless anyway.

    There are paranoid people (like me) who don't want to be tracked. Could you please remove it?

    Thanks.

    The hash is salted too... It doesn't give any information about you or track you.

    I am relieved to hear that, wise decision. :)
