<p>that is all fake...........I am skilled at computers and stuff.....I even asked my bro who is a computer technician......they cannot possibly in any way trace and find your identity..........the worst they can do is block you and kick you out of cc............but I am still not encouraging anyone to do it because getting kicked off cc is horrible............since it is a wealth of info.,..........</p>

^ But the only way they'd be able to get your IP address in the first place is if CC supplies it, which CC already stated that it won't do. But if you post enough info, they might be able to track you down by your profile/posts.

They can get your IP address by other means (such as tricking you into visiting a link), although that can be unreliable if the person becomes privy to their intentions.</p>

Uh, no, it's very possible. For example, through a quick search I found that your name is proooobably Phillip, and if so you live in Vancouver, WA. Anyway, that's just an example; as I've said before, with good cause they can get all sorts of information from your ISP.</p>
<p>Ooh Hippo, do me, do me!</p>
<p>-The Nameless Coot66</p>
<p>omg hippo funny thing is, I live in the USA
your guess was sooo wrong --- see what I mean?</p>
<p>^^ Funny thing is Vancouver, WA is in the USA.</p>
<p>omg haha sorry, I thought he meant Vancouver, Canada. Anyway, I am not from Vancouver, Washington! I live on the east coast of the USA and my name is faaaaaaaaaar from Phillip!</p>
<p>
not really... all they need to do is find out your ip address (which isn't hard at all) call your internet company and tell them you were violating their rules and the internet company will probably give out your name and phone number (because your name and number isn't necessarily confidential like your address, etc). from there, it would be pretty easy to find you. after all, collegeboard probably has you're name, number, address, etc from the SAT registration."
</p>
<p>Wow, no.</p>
<p>An ISP would not give away personal information just because somebody says that this IP address violated the rules of a specific forum on the internet.</p>
<p>Except it doesn't just violate the rules of a forum. I'm not saying whether you can get that information or not but you sign the form on the AP book saying that you won't talk about it and therefore violate an agreement with a company and not just with a forum.</p>

Heh, well it's just guessing :D</p>
<p>ballinforever: Your name is Joe, you are from Pittsburgh PA. How close was I?</p>
<p>sorry yatta, you were 0% close. wrong city, wrong name, wrong state---and I asked so many computer techs [friends of mine] and they told me that cc is trying to scare you, trust me! There is no possible way and that dude that said he was caught and was never able to take another ap test again--he lied.</p>
<p>My friend's dad is a computer programmer, one of the top computer guys at IBM or something (don't know, don't care) and he said you can get almost everything from your IP address.</p>
<p>Why can't we just get over it? IP address shows who you internet provider is. Only reliable if you're not using a proxy or an IP changer program. The internet provider could be located in the same state or even city as you, or the company could be in another state (or country) altogether. Granted, if the person tracking you is persuasive enough, they could probably get some information from the internet provider, but in order to really identify you, they'd need a court order...</p>
<p>-The Court Coot66</p>
<p>^And they really can't get a court order since the IP address is to be the evidence anyway, and thus they would not have any evidence in the request for the court order.</p>
<p>I doubt you can trace someone through IP alone.</p>
<p>What's considered illegal? "Discussing" the Free Response is very vague. What do they mean by "discussing?"</p>
<p>Good heavens, people, use common sense. Don't talk about specific FR questions until 48 hours after the test. Don't ask how someone else answered, don't mention the content of the questions, don't moan about how you should have studied this topic or the other topic more than you did. Just don't talk about the FR questions for 48 hours, it's really not that hard. If you're afraid you'll forget what they were, make notes to yourself and come back in two days to post them. (And don't talk about the MC questions at all.)</p>
<p>You don't even need to make notes, you get the free response packets back two days later and they're on the college board website. -shakes head- seriously, common sense indeed :P</p>
<p>This isn't possible, it'd be way too easy to frame the kid living next door.</p>
<p>edit: and by that I'm referring to ip addresses.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, why doesn't this strict policy apply towards the SAT? 5 minutes after the test, people are rushing to these forums to discuss most, if not all, of the questions.</p>
