Actually - right now I log IP's.
I checked my logs and yes, many sequential voted from the same IP.
We can do few things:
1) place an IP limit - only one vote from same IP per hour. This way it'll hurt
less people going through same proxy/firewall and it should make vote faking
less fun.
2) we can also assume that if someone voted 15 times for meeting at friday he
must really care about this issue and therefore we should count his opinion 15
times
3) we can just be grown-ups and stop faking votes.
Thanks,
Chen.
