I had just the same thing, but from the other side; I wrote a voting system to allow users of the site (a socce^Wfootball site) vote for player of the tournament in Euro2000. Came in one morning, 17000 votes for an unknown Moroccan... 10 minutes later the script is patched and I can block by IP, or have the script block if someone votes "rapid fire". Had lots of fun getting people ridiculed in their school/workplace :) Rich
