MODERATORS
Usually it is the town, or nearby town. If you live in a more rural area that can narrow it down to a few hundred people.
Also in some less-developed countries the data protection by ISPs is very weak. Basically if you know someone in the police (or pay a bit under the table) you can easy get the exact name and address of the account owner if you have an IP.
