This prevents people from remotely calling the followon PHP function

protection among other things).

And what do we need "bot protection" for?  It is already a "members
only" page.

Not to mention that it's trivial to bypass it if you did want to use a
bot.  If we need to do bot protection, we can use a captcha (similar to
the way we're protecting the full installer) when votes are actually
submitted.  But there's no reason (imo) to disallow multiple windows.

While I agree with both of you, we should keep in mind that Orion said that this
is a postnuke problem.  Since the whole site is done with postnuke, I don't
think there's much he can do about it, unless there's some postnuke option to
work around the limitation.
