edit: Very kind user in comments has informed me that this is essentially just not possible on cohost unless the client is exploited and cohost has very pointed protections against remote loading of scripts.
(<-- has been in the cohost meta tag)
I think some people are missing the bigger point on this "ip address" business which isn't that the storage or knowledge of ip addresses matters -- no, it doesn't -- but that because cohost allows css in posts, it does make it possible for someone to potentially hide malware in their cute css crimes post (or even apparently normal appearing post). It has probably not happened yet and ideally it never would but bad actors exist and it may sometime happen. (What I am a little bit confused about is why people are suddenly realizing this is a possibility...).
Disclaimer that I know nothing really about computers (especially in comparison to the deeply knowledgeable crowd of computer touchers on cohost) but I am actually aware of the fact that places like forums and Wikipedia will publicly display your IP as a signature/username of sorts if you use it (by writing comments/updating articles) anonymously. Even 4chan logs your IP address. You literally need it to use the Internet
I genuinely love to be wrong! Please ignore everything I said and feel cozycomfy safe using webbed site.
