Polls Made Simple - Check Cheat on Voting
Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2014 6:14 pm
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.
