HotOrNot Vote Counts

Post by anjanesh »

Im trying to make a hotornot kind script.
What I would like to know is are votes by not-loggedin users counted and stored in the db ? - In general - for eg hotornot.com
Or does the script just display your vote and the overall votes based on registered users ? I mean, if a person who is not logged in and keeps voting...does it make any sense ?
Thanks

there's always that risk, checking against vorters's ip doesn't help - if you want to make sure that all votes are unique, registered users is the only option.
