I'm sure this has been suggested before, but is it possible to change the poll's voting system?

Instead of writing a cookie, change a table entry from 0 to 1 is someone has voted. This can only be done for registered users of course, but it adds some security if you allow registered users only..

Some people found out they can delete the cookie and vote multiple time, rendering the weekly challenge winner polls we run kinda useless.

The last voters user ID is also stored in the database, so even if the user deletes the cookie they con not vote again ubtil someone else votes in that poll.
