In the Politics category, there's a problem with "shell accounts" being created in order to increase vote totals in forum polls.

Over 20 of the users who voted "yes" have 0 posts and just created their accounts yesterday or today. It seems highly likely that one or two users have created multiple accounts.

It would be great if an adjustment could be made to the forum so that a user is unable to vote in polls until he has been registered for a certain amount of time or has contributed a certain number of posts.
