Hi, I don't know exactly the place, I have explained it many times so it will be stored in more topics, try to search the terms and combination of these terms: "unregistered" "users", "vote", "images", "photos", "rating", etc.

Hi, the problem with rating is not only coding problem (in fact it is easy). It is an identifying problem, you can identify users if they are logged in but you cannot if they are not

You can make some specific code which will store the ip, browser, etc and make some ID for the user, but:

- it does not work, it can be really easy hacked
- it takes so much resources on the server that the site will slow down and maybe stop working

Some things are not so easy as they appear

In these days, security and performance cannot be ignored
