I mean when i am looking at someone's info and their IP address usually shows up as X@ABE693FC.690BBA07.1D1DA6D7.IP, but some people can change the last portion to something else entirely(such as a custom sentence). Where is the option?

As mentioned above, you should ask about this in the network's help channel. If the hosts do end in a TLD then those people are using bouncers, or BNCs. Basically these are paid-for services you can use to anonymously connect, for instance, to an IRC server.
