Remote comments should also record IP Address...

While the admin panel for a site has a Banned IP panel:

/admin/app/remoteip/managebannedips.aspx

and the remote commenting API includes a field on comment create to include the IP Address of the commentor.

The getComment API call doe not return the IP Address of the commentor, nor does there appear to be any place to see the IP Address associated with a comment.

This lack of storing and displaying the IP Address seems to severely limit the usefulness of a Banned IP list.

    gadgeteer: thanks it'll help if I've got someplace to look up a spammers IP address, currently there just isn't any place.

    gadgeteer: Was this update to include IPAddress done? the call to http://services.theport.com/ws/developerAPI/CommentingService.asmx/GetCommunityComments isn't returning that field at this point?

    Not sure it'll help but the ObjectType tags in the result look like:

    ThePortBusiness.RemoteCommentCollection, ThePortBusiness, Version=2008.12.18.17, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null


    ThePortBusiness.RemoteComment, ThePortBusiness, Version=2008.12.18.17, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=nullThePortBusiness.Thin.User, ThePortBusiness, Version=2008.12.18.17, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null

    ThePortBusiness.StatusBase, ThePortBusiness, Version=2008.12.18.17, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null

    gadgeteer: hmm. how does one include "XML" example in these comments? The comment I left above had objecttype tag ... which have been stripped.

    gadgeteer: ok, between the time I posted this and went back to deal with other issues I see the new IpAddress tag being included on the results of the web service call... thanks.
