Re: Why can't I bring out my vote in the Booth of Voting?

Are you sure you aren't sharing your IP address with many others? Perhaps via a proxy or NAT box?

I had the same probem as JaWi in the username vote, However I'm not behind a NAT and infact I have my own personal IP address. My dial up IP is allocated to me alone. In addition to that the last rejection due to my IP being "used already" was when there had been only 3 votes in total, so I suspect that perhaps there was a glitch somewhere.

I had the same problem in this poll when only three or so votes had been cast. I'm on a cable connection so my IP address never changes. It said I had already voted from this IP address. When I tried voting on my laptop, (I wasn't logged in, btw) it did let me vote. Of course, the IP on my laptop is static too, but different than this one.

I'm indeed behind a NAT, but the IP is `unique' for my dorm. And my housemates aren't visting this site...

What are the measures taken to prevent voting-bots and more-than-once voting for the poll?
