I'm using Mozilla and fooled around a bit to see how easy it was, and it didn't complain a bit. Wouldn't it be a good idea to do a IP check as well when a post was done to a board? Just to check that a certain IP doesn't change browser over, let's say an hour? I can easily change my useragent in seconds or even run multiple browsers to cheat this game. Though it may mean a lot of work, the game would be better with a function like that. What do you think? |

When I get a spare evening I'll look into it.
