Read the OP.

Go be underage somewhere else.

I don't personally see a need for it. Why do you care if you ID is different?

Because it's easier to talk with people when you don't have to constantly explain or imply that you're the same guy.

This seems like a non issue

If theres multiple tor posters, then there would me multiple 0000 ids, making it confusing still.

I dont get the point, all it does is show to the board that the poster is using tor

8chan has a hidden service though (an "onion"). Does the zero ID apply to posts originating from there, ie 127.0.0.1, or anyone posting from an exit?

I could see how it would make sense for the first case, but otherwise it seems like work to keep track of all IPs that are Tor exits.

I would like this as well.

You can't post from exit nodes on 8chan, you will get this message.

Keeping track of tor exit nodes shouldn't be very hard and it doesn't really matter if some are missed.

Ok, so in other words ID 0 likely just means "we don't know where you're coming from" and it's not really a feature per se.

>Keeping track of tor exit nodes shouldn't be very hard
Yeah, thinking about it I remember having seen sites that had exit nodes blocked. I guess you're right, the list changes slowly enough that it isn't a problem.
