I'm trying to find a particular post which explained when a IP is logged. I do believe it was when registering, sending a PM or posting on the forum. I believe there's a log kept for every single one of these, but may be deleted over time. (probably not the initial registered recorded IP)
When the server was compromised back in 2015, the hacker had access to users registered IP, and last used IP. Therefore, I think it's safe to assume that the registration IP is always kept in the database. However, peoples IPs change so it isn't that big of a deal.
Although, I doubt that any country would forbid one for signing up to a discussion forum about Bitcoin. Barring your activities on the site it isn't likely going to go against you if all you've done is participated in discussion.
Plus, at the moment there hasn't been a database leak since you registered so your IP is currently not public as only admins can see it.
The unit of evil system is transparent:
That's included in mpreps stickied Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ theymos has also spoken about it before:
Only dynamic IP changes not the static one.And the dynamic one can forward to the static one so it's not a big deal.When the server was compromised back in 2015, the hacker had access to users registered IP, and last used IP.

I really think that theymos has to be more transparent about how user's sensitive informations are dealt with.
It's not like he's waving it around it public though, and only releases information on a person if he believes they are guilty, and the authorities have provided enough reason to do so. (like any server owner) Plus, at the moment there hasn't been a database leak since you registered so your IP is currently not public as only admins can see it.
Edit:Especially that when registering with a public proxy from tor or a VPN,you have to pay a fee for it.
The unit of evil system is transparent:
Q: Why is my IP banned? What are those units of evil?
A: Your IP might be banned because it was used by a user that got perma banned. Don't worry - IP bans decay over time if there's not too many of them during a small period. If you register using a banned IP, are using TOR, VPNs or well known proxies, you will have to pay a small fee. This is to prevent spammers while allowing legitimate members to post without many restrictions.

When you register, the IP that you used when you submitted the registration form is used to calculate your evilness. The more frequently this IP or its neighbors were banned, the more evil is associated with your account. The amount of evil associated with an IP decays slowly over time, but the amount of evil associated with an account does not. You must pay or be manually whitelisted to enable posting on one of these "banned" accounts.
Here are some stats:
Currently each unit of evil requires a payment of 4023 satoshi. You only need to pay something if you have 1 or more, though.
Here are some stats:

Meh,since now more and more countries are banning Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency , theymos should atleast give some informations on how bitcointalk deals with these kind of requests if they are ever made by the authorities.
If I put an image in a post in this thread, then I can get a list of the IPs of the people who have viewed the thread. Cross refer a few threads, and I can probably isolate your individual IP.
See? That's what I'm talking about. This kind of glitch shoundn't be there.
