A question about Cloud Variables.

Say you have a simple survey game. Will there be any way to prevent a user from voting more than once for one option? If a user refreshes the page, can they vote again for the same option?

(I couldn't find an answer to this anywhere, there are so many questions about cloud variables that an answer is hard to find...)

Re: A question about Cloud Variables.

If there is a username block, then yes. Otherwise, no.

I see an immediate problem with this. People might be able to make projects that attack specific users. But I guess, those projects could easily be flagged and removed.

9999 points! Yes  big_smile

Re: A question about Cloud Variables.

Even though you got answers fast, you probably would have gotten them even quicker Here

I checked that before posting this, but there are so many questions about specific things that I found it hard to navigate.
