levelup issue

[ipman]

Hello,
Is there any way to modify the lvlup page so that will require the voters to press a "vote" button to level up someone's pet instead of leveling it automatic just by visiting the lvlup page?
I ask this because some of my users use autosurfers or proxy server and by doing so they are generating false visits/votes.
Thanks.

I suppose an additional step could be added. I'll have to look into this, however they'll also probably be able to bypass anything again by using a proxy as everything is IP address based as far as guest voting goes.

But if they have to pres a submit button, then they must do it manually. Now they just enter the link into an autosurfer and do nothing. I think a 'vote' button will diminuate fraud atempts.
Please reply if you find anything.

If you are really worried about people faking the votes you could add the following code to the lvlup page but it might stop people using internet providers such as aol from being able to vote. Guess it just depends which is more important honest voting or traffic. I have this same problem with a game I own and people trying to cheat the referral system using proxy servers and this code will stop them.

if( @fsockopen( $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], 80, $errstr, $errno, 1 ) )
{
die("Proxy Detected You can not use this page via a proxy go to <a href='http://www.yoursite.com'>Your Site</a> to sign up.");
}

lol ok so I just posted in a very old topic, sorry to drag it back up but who knows someone might want the info.

Next time, could you please wait until someone asked for the info before reviving an ancient post? It just tends to clutter things up a bit otherwise.

I am sorry I am new and trying to learn a new forum and was trying to be helpful. I didn't notice that it was an old topic until after I had posted.

Well what I was wondering is how you found out this old topic. I didnt see something like that even after months spent on RA and Mys.
