Gossamer Forum: Products: Gossamer Links: Discussions: Rating / voting security (Chas-a)

Hi,

im currently using Link SQL to track votes for a Flash showcase site i own.

It allows non logged in visitors to rate sites and tracks them in the normal way by logging their full IP address to the ClickTrack table - anyone who's already voted for an individual site (in the last 24 hours) gets an error message.

My question is how can i make this system more bomb proof? as site owners have now figured out that if they close their internet connection and log back on they can vote for their site again - their ISP assigns them a different IP.

Going through the ClickTrack table its obvious which sites are trying it on as you get a grouped list of similar Class B and C IP addresses.

Would tracking Class B IP's instead of the full address be helpful in this situation?

thanks for your help,

charlie
