Is it really possible to track someone's IP address here via a private message?

No, not via a private message. It's a stupid threat.

You can track any address from anywhere on the internet. You are NEVER completely anonymous or protected. It's like living in a zombie Apocalypse, there's no such thing as safe, only safer.

To my knowledge it's utter shite.

There's really no way for a site to completely stop anyone from tracking an IP address. Everyone nowadays should be using VPNs

if they're not using VPN and the people who are tracking are capable of it, it's rare so mostly they're just bluffing

No, of course they are going to tell you that its possible,.. they want to scare you

yes

It is. Once you hit the SW web server it is technically possible. However, the IP address you get from your ISP changes over time.

It's always possible to track someone's IP address. doesn't matter which website it's on.

I wonder the same.

SW has that information, I'm not sure how a regular user would obtain it though.
