How did they get the IP address?
The forum software itself provides the IP address of the person posting.
The IP address was obtained through vBulletin, not through the game client.
All this theorizing about how there's something super-duper-new-and-special going on in the client with respect to IP address tracking and whatever is, at least if based on what really happened with the banned account being referenced, is nothing more than an attempt to stir the pot based on a misunderstanding of what really happened.
