Except cookies are very easy to fake .... it depends on how serious you want your voting to be; whether you could tolerate a little hacking or not. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1042580/best-way-to-store-views-of-an-topic/ Is a discussion on this in mysql/php but the general principles are the same. Basically, IP addr is the only thing it's really hard to play around with - user-agent, cookie, everything else is fakable with ease. But if you use IP addr only then 2 people sharing the same IP address (different computers on the same broadband connection, etc) can only vote once. It's a problem. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
