need some help.on this ocean project im working on (
preview )
i want it so the user can only submit one story a day.
now i thought maybe i could just do something with a cookie, like if the submit cookie is present then it means that they have submitted that day and so they cant submit again, but then i realised they could just delete the cookie.
basically i dont want some idiot flooding me. i thought abuot maybe having a field on the users record that has a date in. once the user submits a story the current date is entered into that field, and then each time the user tries to submit another story, it checks to see if todays date is the same as the one on their record, and if it is, the story would not be submitted, where as if the date were different, it'd be submitted, and the field would be once again updated. would this be the best way to do it?
(sorry im a n00b at this stuff).
