After reading a post by Cable

--- Quote from: Cable on March 16, 2011, 06:46:41 PM ---It agitates me how people make an application and they will ask all their friends to sign up to the forum just to +1.
Just some words of advice, 'Newbie' rank voters HARDLY count at ALL. They will not be taken NEARLY as seriously as others.
I am NOT giving you a  :thumbsup: or a  :thumbsdown:
I'm just giving you a heads-up

Though what it made me think of is unrelated it should remind all of you that people could easily make a second account just to +1 their own applications.

My suggestion is that if a person makes an account and +1's an app that was made less then one hour ago the IP should be checked to see if it's the same IP or a different one to make sure that the person did not +1 their own app with alts.

Any thoughts?

Good point but not everyone uses proxies, this would at least help the problem somewhat.

How about anybody who ISN'T CURRENTLY REG can't +1?

Seems like an obvious choice.
