!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

The Reddit Admins absolutely track IP addresses and browser ID numbers.
When Reddit got pissed that we were deleting our posted content and locking down the site they mass banned hundreds of the moderators including myself. They hit accounts I had not logged into since 2013 so they absolutely are tracking account connections.
He's asking about moderators, not admins. Of course admins can see that information.
Moderators can't see anything.
Actually, moderators have access to a new tool that flags accounts suspected of ban evasion. The cannot see IPs or which other accounts were related, but they can see if an account is suspected and with what level of confidence. Many subreddits have a policy to ban all such flagged accounts.
No, subreddit moderators can't, but the people who run the servers certainly can. Same goes on Lemmy, by the way: the operators of an instance can access that information via web server logs. In general, if you operate a web server, you absolutely can track the IP address information of any browser that connects to that web server. This is a fundamental requirement of TCP/IP; the server needs to see the client's IP address in order to be able to serve the page.
If you were banned from a community and re-join with a new account, the new one will be flagged for ban-evasion and it's up to the mods to allow the posts or not. Admins can definitely see your IP and can ban you site-wide, but subreddit moderators cannot.
Reddit changed their code, if your ip address or browser ID pop-up the account is instantly banned. They track your phone ID too so you'll have to get a new sim card to use the site again.
Or you could just send them fake data, or, better yet, you could just not use reddit lol
I go with not using reddit
Yeah, but that only counts for site-wide bans, not subreddit bans.
Mods cannot access that kind of information, only admins.
There is way better way than IP to identify/track an user.
To my understanding,mods can't see IP or any personal info, but admin can and data broker get a nice package oh data from your reddit
Pretty much any server nowadays logs IPs, so they probably know who you are. It's unlikely they're going to do anything about it though.
