Hello all.
I have a small prblem. My personal site(www.redhotsweeps.com) is
dedicated to Sweepstakes, Contests and games. Well, it seems that
there are a few websites outthere that want to help people cheat by
entering their information for them. Now, for all the other contests
and sweepstakes on the net, they can police their own entries. I am
more conserned with my contests and games.
I went through the access log file this am and did find 5 or so ip
addresses coming from a certain site that enters for people. I
matched each of these IPs with an email address and their entries will
be void. My problem is this, I don't have time to search through the
log files every day. Can someone think of some kind of solution that
I can implement easily? I was thinking about just banning their IP
from the site, but that might get innocent people. What about logging
each hit that comes from said site and "marking" them somehow.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
CDitty
