Does this mod allow users from the same IP to duplicate thier votes?

We are currently using LIKES from vbseo to allow users to vote on different posts to decide a monthly contest. The problem is people are cheating by creating additional accounts and voting for themselves. They arent even being slick about it, and are using the same IP over and over.

If I change to use this mod instead, will I have the same issue? VBSEO has no option to not allow likes from the same ip address.

There is a mod here that stops people from creating new accounts with the same IP. Just saying.

As far as I can tell, once a user likes a post using this mod - they can't like it again using the same account.

Is It possible to make it likes this?

The only issue with this is that it precludes family members in the same home from having an account, as well. I have no problem only allowing one vote per household, but not one account.

Hmmm. Can you set which usergroups can vote? We -DO- have a 30day/30post requirement to move to an official user versus a newb. I have no problem not letting newbs vote.

This mod is a +1, -1 mod (with ability to turn off -1 votes so = with post thanks). Also its a global rating system (not just only for forum posts).

When is there support for 4.2.2?

[CelticWebs]

I've added the files, imported the xml and then added the {vb:raw post_thumbs_box} into the bit legacy file (turned out to be collapsed version for me, took me ages to find it!).

I can add some text and it shows just underneath the text in the post, adding {vb:raw post_thumbs_box} after my bit of text shows the text but no thumbs up! IF I leave everything enabled in the thumbs up options I can see stats in the users profile box on the post but no thumbs up boxes to click. What am I doing wrong here please?

Thanks in advance for your help!

**EDIT**

I'm using VB 4.2.1

[Justinphx]

This mod was nice and well used by our members. However, after upgrading to 4.2.2 it just stops working. It shows the total count in the postbit but no icon in the first post to click on to give thumbs up. I tried to reinstall but to no avail. Thanks
