Getting tired of the front page being filled with ancient polls because some assclown thinks it's funny to vote them all up. Can mods tell who was the last person to vote in these polls and just ban them?

In before pics of "poll bumping".
 


Let me at the code! If you vote in a poll where the last reply was more than a month ago, you immediately get redirected to 2 girls 1 cup.

could just lock threads > 90 days since last reply or something?

I wish. If vBullentin shows you who the last person was that voted, I don't know how to find it. If anyone else does, please tell me and the ban hammer will swing freely.

In the meantime, I closed all the polls on the front page.

It's been a while since I used vBulletin so I'm not 100% sure but there might be an option in the admin area which lets you decide whether or not the thread gets bumped whenever someone votes.

If not, implementing the change should be an easy job for a programmer.

You would probably have to find it somehow in the database using something like phpmyadmin if there isn't a way to do it in the vbulletin control panel.
 
get someone who is an admin to grep the access log for requests to:

Code: 
http://www.wickedfire.com/poll.php?do=pollvote&pollid=
Should be a shitload of them grouped together. Get the times, IPs, and crossref with logged-in members at that time.

Although whoever is doing it, you would think they were using a burner account.
