Default Can Webmasters identify you?

By webmaster I mean the owner of the site, in case I got that wrong.

Say you register an account on their forum or site, can they find out anything other than what you provide in your registration details? Like real name, location, or anything really.

If they are computer savy, I would imagine it would not be all that hard for them to do so.

A webmaster only sees web traffic your IP and not your name and number. The owner only if you had to provide it for something like billing, but they normally only have an E-mail address.

Default

yes they can if they are aware and if they know their jobs. i have a friend who is a mod and can easily identify which IP is being used and whether that user is a spammer or not
