If I understand you right, you want to allow your users to vote on posts, and each user should only be able to vote once?
As far as I can see, there is actually no way to do this that is 100% reliable (perhaps except requiring registration and photo ID). Any method relying on cookie and/or IP addresses will be vulnerable to people moving between networks, clearing their cookies, switching browsers etc. You can also run into troubles if several different users visit your site from the same IP (and possibly same browser). You can limit risks of doublevoting by requiring users to submit their email (but don't track how that email voted). People can have more emails/falsify emails, so this is obviously not foolproof, either. If reliabilty is paramount, I suggest requiring registration. People will always be able to registrer more times, but the more hassle it is to "multivote", the less likely it is that people will try to do so. -g On 05/02/2008, mozey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hello everyone, > > I would like to be able to rank my posts in a VERY reliable method. > The catch is, my system is completely anonymous. > > One way of doing this, i can add a digg type counters, in which case, > i need to add all objects that has been dugg in a cookie, as well as > have a "throttle" type table where i log IP's and actions!, then check > for both cookies and the table before something is dugg. > > OR > > I can find something like webelizer or urchin and rank them based on > their traffic (like youtube).
