yar - I hear that Manon has a screen which has all the IP's running down the monitor in green and black colour, like out of the Matrix and he can tell if you have logged on using a different IP.

Manon - or should i be calling you - Neo?

I hear what Wolph is saying - if you have nothing to hide, then why not show it... but id like to see scenario's where, having all that information available would achieve more good than evil.

"ooooo a bunch of IP's published on a website, I think i might take that list and see how many of them have port 3389 open. "

perhaps there is merit in knowing some of this information though - but maybe it could be presented in a more 'family friendly' manner. - like 'This user likes to log in from Home and Work'
This user most commonly logs in from his mobile phone (cell phone for you yankee doodles).
i dunno im just spit balling - something more personable and friendly might be nice.
then you would get 'This user just logged in from China 5 mins ago - and from France 10 mins ago' that would be interesting!

id like to know from BB the biggest number of user's involved in a cheating sting.... 20? 40? cmon spill spill!

No way to know if its a multi or just a new guy making a mistake..but if I could see some logon info, like i fI could see one guy is in Chicago and one guy is in Dallas...well maybe I wouldn't send the report. Sometimes I report crossnation transfers...but if its like intercontinental, I only report it if its really high amount or multiple transfers. Just an example. I really think the more info regular users can see, the more accurately we will report. There is the danger I suppose it just leads to more reports, and false ones...but I don't think that would be the case. I really think it woudl lead to just more accurate reporting.

That's one way of looking at it. But there are two ways to make the GM work more effective: 1) report suspicious activity without going into that kind of extra judgements, and 2) play by the rules.
