I think it’d be extremely helpful for site moderators if IPs were logged per-post.

I’m an admin on a forum that allows users to share accounts in some circumstances, and I recently ran into a problem moderation-wise after a shared account posted rulebreaking content; we weren’t able to confidently determine which user created the posts.

Along with this, being able to see the IP that a post came from can help in the instance a user’s account is compromised.
