I was just wondering what type of protection is provided on the site to prevent someone creating multiple dupe accounts and attempting to alter their score during the votes?

I'm sure it doesn't happen here (to any noticeable degree anyway) since the folks here seem like a decent bunch, but I saw this problem solved on another site by preventing voting for anyone who has not participated in 3 challenges and hasn't got a certain number of (legitimate) shots in their portfolio on the site.

I have noticed however the mods run quite a tight ship here, so it's probably not relevant.

Ahh ... a trick question : )

If we told people how we checked, then cheaters would know how to work around the system. Suffice it to say that we have found and eliminated duplicate accounts (if not the account-holder) in the past, and will continue to do so as necessary.

Thanks General.
