View submission: How to keep your Reddit account safe
Since you guys still permanently store the IP address during account creation, can you please consider hashing it instead? That should still play nicely with your anti-spam controls.
I'm guessing the other reason you store our IP addresses during account creation is because you want to gather geolocation statistics, but that can still be done with any given IP before you hash it right?
Reddit is one of the most popular websites globally. I feel this extra security measure would take a lot of weight off our shoulders.
There's nothing here!
