The reason ratings aren't in yet, is I haven't found an elegant way to do this. Naturally you don't want people to be able to rate a post more than once, and so far the only way I can figure out how to do this, would be to make a table that tracks post numbers and the Userid's that have rated those posts. The only problem is if you have alot of posts and alot of users, this table would get absolutely HUGE in very little time.

As for the security measures in polls, already done. You can have your polls open to everyone, in which case you can't vote twice from the same IP address, or you can have them only open to registered users, in which case you can't vote twice with the same Userid.
