sonne ( on June 23, 2009, 07:32:14 ) Well, it is not that easy. I mean we could definitely only count 'hits' if cookies are enabled and then check if that user clicked already. Or alternatively record IP addresses and check if we received a vote from that adress already (not sure if this is legal though). However, then we don't count visitors that have cookies disabled and still all these countermeasures can be circumvented.
