 * Great Plugin but I have come across a possible issue.
    I am finding that the 
   IP Address Restriction does not appear to be working as expected.
 * I have the IP Address Restriction Option checked in settings.
    After rating a
   post I can often rate again either by refreshing the post or leaving the post
   completely and returning. On other occasions I receive the message that I cannot
   rate again however if I wait for a few seconds then press the submit button again
   I find that it will accept my rating.

 * This is strange… Do you have any caching plugins enabled? Is the second submit
   actually updating the first rating, or creating a new rating in the rating results
   shown in the WP-admin? Could be some sort of a plugin conflict but not really
   sure…

 * I am currently testing the plugin before moving to the production server. Not
   sure if any caching programs are active, though I doubt it.
 * Each creates a new item, here’s a sequence I ran on a single post today
    1. Provide rating – result 1.875/5
    2. modify stars – submit result 2.9166666/5
    3. Modify stars – Message unable to submit again
    4. Wait 20 seconds press submit – result 5/5
 * The above showed as three new entries in the results page.

 * It’s possible your IP address changed but I’m not confident this is what’s happened…
   Coming soon you’ll be able to choose a combination of IP address and/or using
   a cookie restriction method.

 * Combination of IP address and/or using a cookie restriction method has been added
   to latest version of the plugin. Marking topic as resolved.

 * Shouldn’t there be a restriction on the author of a post to prevent them from
   rating their own posts?

 * Good idea TE5LA. I’ve added it onto my TODO list of feature requests. Thanks!
