Maher,
I took a look at the hotscripts site. I
was wondering if you could be more specific about what you like about their
management of anonymous votes? It seems like their ratings are based on a
very small sample size, some of the ‘top’ rated plug-ins had less
than 10 votes.
I agree that we should try to prohibit
proxies. Howver, I do believe it is becoming accepted practice to require a
user to register before voting/commenting. I am thinking of sites like
digg.com, dzone.com.

Restricting Access to Anonymous Users
As for generalizing the requirement for all content (rating
and comments), I would have to draw attention to the Hotscripts site.
They do a very good job of managing anonymous votes and limiting abuse. I
believe we can accomplish the same by extending the existing abuse rules to
account for proxy and malicious votes.

+1 to making this change.
I’d request other Phoenix committers to please express their
opinion.
Good Morning all
I have been noticing that we are starting to get an increase
in the number of spam / porn / drug posts on our forums. I would like to
suggest that we remove all the posting abilities for anonymous users from the
site, This includes Ratings, Comments, and Forums postings. I think
going forward we need to validate that our users are legitimate and not trying
to game rankings as seen in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=149319.
