Several articles on that very thing recently.
There is no valid reason to store the ip anywhere else on the site, login, forums, etc.
If you use php, learn to cache(memcached not redis) the peer data instead of storing peers in the db.
If you use XBT, it doesn't log the ip unless you modified it to do so.

This is true....but sadly there are many codebases and sysops that dont care are log there users IP, Browsers, fingerprints, etc. I wish ppl would wake up. Its not worth it to catch some cheaters.
Also I guarantee majority here running a tracker with NGINX are using the default NGINX access log format and are logging IPs there too. Instead of disabling the access log or changing the default format of it.
