Creating a PHP web app to allow users to vote on submissions - How can I minimize abuse.
- by sibliant
Hi Community,
I've only written a few small php web apps and I'm throwing code together right now to allow for users to submit short stories. these stories will display and allow others to vote them up. The winner receives something rather valuable and I'm paranoid people are going to try to manipulate it.
Debian / Apache / PHP 5.2 / jquery
users are not required to login / authenticate.
users can vote multiple stories up but only once for each story
Is it as simple as tagging each story with an IP address and not counting other submissions from that IP? Thanks for any advise.
