Well, we have discussed all this before. If I don't limit the submission by ip it will be too easy for a single person to flood us with false data making the whole stats pointless. The ip is the only value you cannot easily spoof over internet.

A malicious user could still flood you with false data even with the 1 submission per IP per 24H(1) limit, I don't know how other ISPs work, but here if I reboot my router I get a new IP, so it would be easy to continually reboot the router (or somehow disconnect and connect the the adsl link) and send the stats again with a new IP. (1) Here the lease seems to be for 36H, I don't know about other ISPs. -- Mauro Santos
