Mini Polls updates

Just done some little updates to the minipolls script which I thought I'd share. Mostly to try and stop any vote rigging but I also added a couple of optimisations and such behind the curtain of code:

  • Security
    1. Vote page button to stop making people auto-vote
    2. Store voter referrer to help identify vote riggers
    3. Store amount of times one user votes on a poll ro help identify vote riggers
  • Optimisations
    1. Cut out a large and messy SQL statement while voting
    2. Slightly improved bar rendering
  • Improvements
    1. Added vote count on popular polls / options
    2. Shorter wait time between votes

Anyway, if you have any suggestions then I'll always try my best to make them work. Future plans are to have custom vote times and an easier way for me to ban certain people.

Oh, and I'm about to start work on tidying up the syntax highlighter too, so prepare to be amazed! Or at least mildly bemused...
