Suppose I was to do something highly illegal and boast about it on here (with pictures, naturally), apart from being banned, is there anything anyone could do?
Im just curious as to whether anything about you can be gotten hold of and what information we leave behind. Like if I never gave out any details, am I traceable? Could the police somehow get to my ISP and get my details from them?
Ill point out at this stage that I havnt done anything highly illegal and dont plan to! |

Oh nevermind.
...But Paul can give the cops any post you make. I would advise against it. |

Think about it... Paul and the Mods (great band name!) can already check your IP and from that find you, in MINUTES. Heck, I'd be suprised if that isn't already logged in some safe database already.
I've got no qualms about revealing myself over the internet, cuz at the end of the day, I'm just a trash talkin' metalhead.
But when some people post photos of themselves actually DOING illegal stuff.... oh well! too bad for them! (underage drinking, illegal drugs, owning contraband...) |

Ill point out at this stage that I've done several highly illegal things and the guilt is crushing me. (Why don't mommy and daddy love me?) | Fixed it for you.

And what's with the pickle?!?

I suggest turning yourself in. They usually give time off for that.
