Oh - the not so smart ones!

In my last post, there was a suggestion that we should figure out a way to identify people who are attempting to caste fake votes and just throw them out. Debarring voters from the same IP is not a sensible thing to do, as many genuine people accessing the site behind their corporate firewalls, would log the same IP. Also, it is just not worth chasing people who are busy creating fake IDs. Though these users often don’t realize, that in their passion to cast fake votes, they forget to remove the telltale signatures left behind. So in a matter of few minutes, the system logs voters like Dina, Dina1, & Dina2 sequentially on the voter list
However it does leave a bitter taste in the mouth, as we go through some routine checks, and discover people using the lesser known email ‘alias’ features to caste fake votes. For the uninitiated, Gmail has a very useful feature where you can create a mail alias very easily. This was actually designed to handle spam better. So .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
is same as [email protected], or any such combination. The feature was introduced by Gmail to help consumers fight spam by submitting alias IDs on web-forms. You can read more about this feature here http://tinyurl.com/gmailalias
As you are aware technology can be put to both good use and bad. Some smart applicants on GDC chose the latter and decided to register multiple votes, themselves, using aliases. Since it does not take much effort, all you got to do is log in, create a new gmail ID, continue casting votes using aliases, before signing off for the night. Oh - these not so smart ones!
You tell me what we should do with these people.
I think, I already have your answer.
