Reverse IP Search Disabled

[EpicNPC]

Reverse IP Search has been disabled. I do not have an ETA for when it will come back.

The reason it's been removed is a worry that game companies might be using it as part of their investigation tools to see if players have an account here.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

what will happen with "location info"?

Removing the option is the worst possible solution.
There are so many things you can do to prevent abuse while still letting members use it normally.
First thing that comes to mind is to make it a feedback requirement. So when a user gets 50 feedbacks they can apply, just like for the MM badge, and you can then manually give them the perk...
Removing the option entirely, just because you suspect that game companies could be abusing it is a very bad idea.

Yes, I was contemplating making it a MM tool only. However some updates need to be made before I can make this switch. At this time, I'm not sure when that will be. Could be a week or maybe a little longer.

The location info will be returned in a week or two also.
