OutCaster Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Hi, I've seen many websites that have comment systems with a little "+" or "-" next to the comment. I'm assuming it's a type of rating system where the visitors vote up or down a comment. Obviously when showing the comments you can sort them by rating, but do these types of comment system have some sort of check that prevents a certain user from voting down all the comments or voting up all the comments? I guess what I'm asking is how does the system work. Thanks, OutCaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocobueno1388 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Maybe make it so once a user votes for a comment they can't vote for that comment again...that way someone can't just keep clicking the + or -. When they rate it, just add it to a table in the database called something like "comment_rates". Record the players ID and the Comments ID...then every time they try to rate a comment, have it check to see if they have already done so.
