How does this Website KNOW!?! I voted.
Ok. So there's a website called SlickDeals.net and you post on the forums, deals, freebies, etc.
So I log in to my regular username and post a Freebie. There is a Rating system on there so anytime someone clicks the "Thumbs Up" you get a Thumbs Up and a Gold thumbs up icon on your thread. Likewise for thumbs down.
So I post the freebie and give myself a "Thumbs Up" and vote. Cool, except I see some people voting "Thumbs Down" for no reason.
I decide I want to thumbs up my thread a bit. So I make a new account. Crap -- It sees something familiar to my previous session because next to the thumb rater it says "You've Already Voted".
So I go ahead, clear my cache/cookies/history, Etc. I change my ip address, I Clear Flash Cookies. And I register a new user name... I go back to Slickdeals.net and Bammo. It says "You've Already Voted".
So now I ask you programmers. How does it recognize this !? And how can I avoid it?
