Cooperating with the plugin authors on how to implement better checks there would imo make much more sense." I did this because it seems that some people use the current situation (that technically anybody can vote) as a cannon fodder for some personal arguments. the patch is as clean as it can be, and I asked you and others to review it before applying. of course the plugin author could do a better job, feel free to revert mine if we ever got that. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
