What controls exist to prevent abuse of anonymous voting?

Answered vjys7a9etx 8 years ago

For feedback idea creation you require a captcha but not for anonymous voting. What controls do you implement to prevent users from abusing the voting system i.e. adding multiple votes? Cookies, IP etc?

Hello,


In order to prevent double votes, we use cookies, so users won't leave more than 1 vote. Anonymous voting is tricky, and if we make more strict system here, users would just leave and won't express their opinion.

But as our system goes with open code, you can override this behavior with your custom module or js.

So we could override this behaviour to include functionality to prevent duplicate votes from the same IP? (without breaking the core system updates etc)

Yes, you can do it with custom module, or we can build custom module for you. Once you have license, please submit us a request and we'll provide you with estimation.
