I'm confused Buffy Summers. Isn't a user's identity recorded with a cookie placed at log-in so that it recognizes you according to your registration information.
If it was connected to your IP, people would be double booking everytime they shared an ISP in the same city, wouldn't they? Also some people don't have static IPs. Wouldn't they be able to vote multiple times? Couldn't you vote multiple times with proxies if you were identified by IP?
Is this a special kind of poll?
This is interesting. Can you straighten me out?
PS.
Oh, OK. I see what you mean... The poll on the main page, right? I'm guessing you can vote whether you're registered or not.
So if some script kiddy, buffy fan came along, and wanted to, he could pretty much make the poll results say whatever ever he wanted, by changing his IP each time he voted, right? (not that anyone would ever do that, of course)
