So is it also really scary that the mods/admins on the Starcraft 2 forum could also see his IP address?

The risk of being DDOSed when you share a contact on Skype and they find out your IP address is hyperbole.

There is a pretty substantial difference between a few Blizzard employees knowing your IP address and the entire public knowing your IP address.
