    Hello friends,

    I have recently written a rating system, howerver I want to restrict a user to rate a post multiple times.
    I tried storing the their IP in the DB but the problem arose when I found out that they could only vote on one post for the entire blog and that wasn't pretty.

    So could you please tell me a better way to create a state for the user to vote only one time per a post?

    Thank you very much!

    Best Regards
    Stefany

    So store their IP and a unique ID for the post they rated, instead of just the IP.
