Prevent a User from Running a Workflow Twice

    I've put together a discussion board that an employee can post an idea to the company and employees can discuss that idea. I've also created two workflows. One to vote an idea up and another to vote an idea down.

    Unfortunately that means a user can vote an idea up or down as many times as they want. Is there a way to prevent a user from running workflows more than once on each discussion board posting?

    Alternatively I could just make you only be able to vote an idea up or down if you add a reply, but would it be possible to restrict one vote per person that way either?

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time.

  2. I would create additional list with the following columns: User, Idea ID, Direction (UpVote/DownVote) to track if user already voted.

    Not sure why I didn't think of that. Anyway, that worked fine. Thank you
