[Plugin: WP-post-view] Count post views by ip address

Love this plugin, it’s the only one I’ve found that lets me display the number of views right in the post. However I noticed that every time I refresh a certain post, it counts it as a new view, meaning you could in a sense “cheat” by refreshing multiple times and running up the view count on your post.

I’m not an experienced coder, so I was wondering if it was possible to add a function or modification that would cause the plugin to count post-views based on ip address or something similar to that. And if so, I would really appreciate if you could post the solution and the code that must be used as well as where to insert it (luckily, I know enough to be able to do that by myself lol).

Thanks in advance!
