Delete IPs within a certain interval
Developer Last Online: Jan 2010 
This modification is in the archives.
Description:
The script deletes the IP adresses within the following tables: adminlog, moderatorlog, post, threadrate, user. It doesnt remove the banned IPs (vBulletin Options, User Banning Options, Banned IP Addresses). Installation: 1) Upload deleteip.php to /includes/cron 2) Login into your AdminCP 3) Go to Scheduled Tasks, Add New Scheduled Task Varname: deleteip Title: Delete IPs Description: Delete IPs within a certain interval. Log Phrase: Delete IPs Set Interval. Filename: ./includes/cron/deleteip.php Product: vBulletin Update Instructions: Replace the file deleteip.php. History: Version 1.01: Cron Logging - log_cron_action() added. Version 1.02: Speed Improvement - Significantly faster without the conditionals. Version 1.03: Added conditionals again to decrease the database load. Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information. Show Your Support

Can you explain the benefit of this? I'm sure there must be one but I'm unaware of it.

I think it's just to reduce the size of your database...

If you turn off the IP Address Log within vBulletin - AdminCP, Message Posting and Editing Options, Log IP Addresses, vBulletin still logs the IP Addresses in several other tables except the post table and the IP Addresses are still held in your database from the time before you put down the switch. Why would someone turn off the IP address logging? For security and privacy reasons. Three Scenarios Copyright Violation: A member posted a direct link to Disneys current movie and Disney asks you for the IP address of the user? You could say sorry, we do not log IP addresses to protect the privacy of our members. Free Speech: A member posted something your goverment doesnt like and they ask you for the IP address of the user? You could say sorry, we do not log IP addresses to protect the privacy of our members. Data Theft: Someone hacked your server and does a mysqldump, with the IP addresses he could easily run all IP addresses against a Geolocation database and sell it to markting companies or use it to uncover your members together with the email addresses. You simply dont have what they try to get. You should also delete your webserver logs within a certain interval and instruct your members to use suitable email providers. Or use secure proxies in general which usual user doesnt do. No members have liked this post.

I'm curious about this....
I run a somewhat controversial local politics forum where people have become upset and threatened to sue members for their posts. What effect does deleting the IP's have on vB as a whole? Will it mess with the polling (if enabled for guests)? If I process server logs for statistical data, and then run the cron job, will my stats still be valid (I try and maintain a 7 day stat that includes geo-location by IP)? Thanks for any answers...
