Is it possible to get the ip address from where a certain message was posted?

I would find that useful and with potentially the ability to just block that ip address from using tribune (or I could block them from the whole site too using currently available tools)

I really think it is another module's job.
I don't know if it actually exists but I could imagine a module logging the IP of users who access an URL, and another one blocking arbitrary URLs depending on the IP address of users. If they don't exist yet, they really should !

No probs... my dilemma was trying to ban an anonymous user who had posted a message on tribune... but I had no idea what the anonymous poster's ip address was.

I just stopped anonymous users from posting.

Opening this back up, another module cannot block the ip if there is no record of what ip the post was from Is it possible for this module to store the posting ip?

A few modules able to do that at http://drupal.org/node/583254#comment-2126146

That is slightly different - you do not (easily?) know the ip address from where a specific post was made.
