That'd be a good idea if you are sure all the +1's are coming from illegitimate users but with the existence of botnets/malware/etc, it's very possible that the people +1'ing have no idea they are doing it.

- mquander 15y agoI don't believe you're serious. Not only is that untrue (practically everyone is insecure in some way) but it's also a non sequitur; it's not the +1ers that suffer when their clicks don't count, it's their friends, who would otherwise benefit from having better recommendations.
- ianferrel 15y agoIt's not a bad suggestion. Their friends are going to be better off without the +1s of anyone whose account is compromised by a bot net.
