Polls Made Simple - Check Cheat on Voting

[mr.bacan]

Hi, I've been running a beauty contest poll for a few weeks now using Polls Made Simple. It has been working fine but in the last 2 days a contestant raised from a couple of hundreds votes to a couple of thousands. On "Allow Voting" I use "Once per IP" in order to block repetitive voting from the same IP.

Using phpMyAdmin I accessed the module table and noticed one named "cms_module_pollblocked" and it has 14,000 records, so I assume someone is trying to cheat.

So the question is: Is there a way to check for detailed information on every vote to determine a cheat pattern?

The table only shows the IP, Vote Time with a long number (1396935415) and the Poll ID.

Using:
- CMSMS 1.11.10
- Polls 0.3.2 (I know there's a new version but it doesn't work)
- AjaxMadeSimple 0.4.0

I'll appreciate any help on this.

Thanks in advance,
Mr. Bacan.

I can't help with specifics of how the Poll module works, but if you want to convert the time stamp (Vote Time), you can do it on a site like this: http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm
