You raise an interesting point, SoftDux.
My thought was publishing the IP might be seen as in contravention of the privacy statement of TFSA (and thus actionable), but by my understanding not in this instance. I plead in my defence it was "reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of The Forum SA, its users or the public."
Obviously the issue you raise can get quite complicated when it comes to the internet. My departure point is ordinarily things like IP addresses are not for public or general disclosure. I'll worry about the specific legal merits of any request as (or if) they arise.
