Posting Forum Member IP Addresses

Ok there's no internet law section so I thought I'd ask here.

I'm just making sure it's legal to post IP information of users on a forum. I've had a ton of spammers who dont like me on my forum, and decided to post some of their IP information to get them off my ass. Legal?

Good question. My guess is that if they send you the IP info, then it's yours to publish.
