I don't think that's a good idea. You could just write a script that does gforum.cgi?do=poll_vote;guest=$i, and then let $i run from zero to infinity.....

... Or just leave it off altogether and let GForum increment the guest ID from 0 to infinity ;-)

Consider a combination of IP and username - for a logged in user, let them vote unless that user has already voted. If it is a guest voting, track their IP and only let the IP vote once.

Going by just IP isn't a good idea - that would mean all Gossamer Threads employees only get to vote once! What happened to sending all your employees to skew the results of a poll? hehehe
