They have every right to be protective of anything that is considered personal information, which an IP is.
It's not an issue of how harmful an IP address could be, it's an issue that many people don't want their IPs broadcasted around an entire server due to script abuse.
And yes, they have that right, and it should be upheld.

No, it's foolish, and they only have rights to whatever Cyberjouers says they have rights to.
I'm going to assuming you're one of those that know little about computers.

IP by itself is something like the postal system. It allows you to address a package and drop it in the system, but there’s no direct link between you and the recipient.

No harm can come from making a string that records a players' ip.
Why? Because the only people that would be able to view it would be staff, which they can view now anyways.
There is no privacy with IPs. As already stated multiple times, most sites log your IP the moment you go to their page. No harm is done with knowing one's ip alone.
