Hi, i would like to propose a patch to 6-x which will add an option to store IP address of comment author to the comment. I am looking for this feature quite some time now and i think that due to spam, IP address is very valuable resource when fighting it. The only option how to accomplish this now is finding that IP in watchdog log, but it is deleted every X days... Is it worth developing? (Is there a chance to be accepted?) Thanks, Jakub http://www.drupal.cz

Considering that you can easily write a contributed module which stores the IP I don't think this is core worthy. There might already be a module which does this. Cheers, Gerhard
