Holy shit can't you read up before complaining without knowing the details? There is the exception that you may use and store data that is necessary for providing the service. Thus, since ip is necessary for talking to a server, you don't need to explicitly ask for consent. However you MUST NOT do anything else with that IP, like logging it for longer than necessary or tracking users across sites (without consent).
Why do you need to log ip? To prevent abuse? That's ok. For how long? That's up do you to decide, but it must be motivated and documented.
What's so hard to understand? How is this not perfectly reasonable already? Why are you entitled to not respect other's personal data?
