IP Userpages


I have heard from NHL that wikis delete IP's userpages if they create one. I consider this unfair because they aren't actually breaching COPPA if they are underage (and not all are, some are just reluctant or have overprotective parents). Two great examples are found here and here. I say that we should let them edit a userpage because if they are a helful IP then there isn't really much reason to delete them. BobaFett

  • Strong Oppose. IP addresses can represent entire networks or organizations, and if dynamic IP addresses are used, they can change. If a user is dedicated enough to create their own userpage, I don't see why they're not dedicated enough to create their own account as well. NightblazeSaber 12:24, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
  • I think that you both have some good points. I don't really know. Jag 21:07, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
If an IP really wants to get involved, then they can create an account. Not to promote rule breaking, but you don't need to tell us your age... ajr 21:25, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
Well it still seems like they should be allowed to create a userpage and stay as an IP if they want, in case they don't want to break COPPABrickmacktalkcontribs
Exactly what I say. It allows people to avoid breaking rules and they can still edit. I know userpages aren't exactly "encouraged" but if an IP is in a conversation it's a bit odd if you don't really know anything about them.

Ajraddatz your idea promotes the breaking of COPPA laws.

When signing up you do (@Ajr).. Per NHL, not everyone is lucky enough to have a static IP.. (I fortunately, do..) --Lewis Cawte (Talk - Contact) 14:33, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

I guess that if an IP creates a userpage, we should tell them that that is left to registered users, and that they can do so very easily, if they are above thirteen. And if they are below thirteen, they can't create a userpage, but they can still edit. It's allowed to edit as an IP if you are below thirteen, isn't it? And if they are older, they can register and create a userpage (it isn't a big difference to Eurobricks.com, you are only allowed to register when you're older than 18).  Samdo994 talk contribs  17:50, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Oh and I think it is quite unfair to users that haven't registered yet, because they are under 13, when an IP creates a userpage. That way the IP bypasses the COPPA laws.  Samdo994 talk contribs  17:54, June 22, 2010 (UTC)


Samdo you have confused me. First you say that we should not let them create a userpage, then you say it's unfair...whose side are you on? BobaFett

  • The only reason for the age-rule enforcement was because people were "admitting" they were underage. So, I have to agree with Ajraddatz on this one. -Nerfblasterpro: I PRESS SMASH BUTTON!Maverick 21:26, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

The fact of the matter is that IP's can change at such a quick rate, there will be user pages not belonging to their owners.. Therefore creates more work for our admins, who probably wont even know this.. --Lewis Cawte (Talk - Contact) 06:14, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
I've seen it happen many times... a good Anonymous contributor really making an effort, and then suddenly because it's a dynamic IP, the good anon turns into the worst kind of vandal. IP's change way to often, if someone is dedicated enough to edit frequently and make a userpage, they should just make an account as well. Not just to make things easier on the admins, but also to make things easier on themselves, cause what's their userpage today could be another anon's userpage tomorrow. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 11:06, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
