Thanks for the reply Toby
I knew about the anonymizers... most sites have 1 or 2 "No Referers" a week, so I guess that is what they are.
I am pruning my lists again, starting with the ones that haven't sent any hits for 3 months, plus the 'obvious' cheaters. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something before deleting legitimate users.
If a site, like the example above, was sending a good number of 'real voters' as well as the cheat votes; would you delete the account or do what I originally thought and just not count the non-referring hits?
This would have to (i.e be easier to) apply to all accounts rather than pin-pointing a few.
Thanks again
Steve
