hey guys,
i made a poll and it works fine, i am useing a cookie and user' ip address to block multiple votes.
the cookie can be deleted and the dail up users have a diffrenet ip address everytime, what else can i use to make sure that i don't get multiple votes?

Skip the IP address. That would be enough if you can accept the fact that some people clean their cookie jars...
How important is your poll then?
If you really want to be shure about a visitor only votes one time and never again, you'll have to create that email-activated account volka was mentioning.
Hey! People even have multiple email accounts, so you just can't be shure unless you yourself know every visitor and their email adresses and activate them manually one by one!
it just seems pointles to me, people come to my site for 2 or maybe 3 downloads, no use in asking for a membership, no point in that, so i guess i'll have to stick with cookies and ip addresses
