To which category of Fizz community hub users is my IP address discernible? Could you provide insight into the quantity of Fizz community hub users falling within this particular classification?

    There are definitely Fizz moderators (the most famous is Whizz) in this Forum. I observed several of them were "hiding" as normal users 😂 and posted their nicknames here in the Forum, but my post with the screenshots was deleted and I got a warning message 🤭.

    Hello A1exia_L,
    Thank you for your post,
    Only moderators on the community hub can see your IP address and other information you have entered on the website.
    Your post was flagged by an user that observed that the 2 accounts you own, had similar names.
    We verified the situation and observed that the IP's are identical. No one else can see your IP other than the moderators. 
    Also, you had previously asked how you can earn points in the Community Hub. And you were warned at this time that it is not allowed to create multiple accounts to assign best answers to yourself. 

    You can rest assured that your private data is protected on the forum. 
    Thank you for your understanding!
    Have a good day!
    -Eugen

    Your IP address cannot be seen by users, only Fizz employees can see it, and probably not all of them

    We are users here, we don't really know Fizz's classification/category.

    But support can definitely see all the information: your IP, email, etc.

    Andrei_ref_R7VK1 I believe that a portion of the user population present on the Fizz community hub consists of Fizz employees or designated moderators. This inference is drawn from an incident outlined by Jess_i88b6, who successfully correlated two distinct accounts with identical IP addresses within a prior post that was subsequently removed. The ancillary comments accompanying the removed post featured affirmations from two users, attesting to their ability to establish a connection between the aforementioned accounts. This can only be explained by their presumed access to confidential information.

    Therefore, are you asking how to take advantage of the system?

    @Whizz probably you can reply to @A1exia_L since you are a Fizz's representative

    @Jess_i88b6 I am not asking nor do I want to know how to take advantage of the system. I belive you misinterpreted my response (No disrespect). In other words, I was saying that I dont believe we are only regular users on the Community Hub. If we were only regular users, how would you have been able to match two accounts to identical IP addresses in a prior Post. It is normal to have moderators. I am not trying to take advantage of anything, I am simply pointing out that I believe there are users who are moderators.

    Yes there are, but usually they're not participating with this alias the partecipating only with the Whizz account, sometime they have a personalized avatar
