[jira] Created: (JSPWIKI-253) Drop VotePlugin

Drop VotePlugin
---------------

                 Key: JSPWIKI-253
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-253
             Project: JSPWiki
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Plugins
            Reporter: Janne Jalkanen
            Priority: Trivial


The VotePlugin is pretty much useless - once you put it on a public wiki site, all the bots start voting this-n-that.  That's the problem of using a GET instead of POST (though they would probably vote anyway).

Also, I don't see people using it much, so I think we should drop it from the core and make it a contributed plugin.

Would adding a requirement that users be authenticated make it any
less likely to be abused?
