SPAM/Bot voting | WordPress.org

[ad_1]

Hi! We have been testing out the free version on our startup business. We run an Instagram tagged photo contest, manually select the best three and then manually create entries for a contest. We only want public voting.

Last month the voting ran fine, but this month we received tons of duplicates (which we can resolve an a pro version with IP blocking). Upon sifting through the duplicates, it became clear that there were tons of IP addresses within a number or two of each other.

Are there ways to combat this on the voting side? Like reCAPTCHA or the likes?

Thanks!
