Stefan has previously stated that he does not want people getting IPs with requestHTTP/URL.

Since you have not strictly forbidden this (and I think you'd need Stefan's permission anyway) I'm going to go ahead and make this system. You may come look at it when I'm finished. If you feel that it is bad for people to have extra account protection, you are free to talk to Stefan and get him to stop me.

Way to disregard what I have said:
