I was asked if WordPress recorded IP addresses in connection with the anti-spamming. Yes. There are a large number of “plugins” available to expand WordPresses capabilities, including screening new registrations and catching spamming. Here is a screen cut from one of my sites showing one of the reports.
You can click the thumbnail for a bigger look. There are many such reports. WordPress is a very robust platform to build your blog site.
I ran a test on the site to see if there were any privacy issues, and it came back that there are none. You can see that report also on the Privacy policy page (top menu). My policy is to not track honest people while preventing the criminals from making the site unusable with their disgusting spam or disclosing subscriber email addresses to them. Sometimes spammers will visit sites just to get a list of active email addresses, which they then abuse. The Chinese and Russians see nothing wrong with abusing freedom of information and openness that way — it suits their purpose.
