 * Hi,
 * Just so everbody knows, because of the new European privacy protection laws (
   GDPR), you need to anonymize the IP adresses of all voters to be compliant (legal)
   after May 25th 2018. You can do this by going to the security settings and activating
   the “MD5 hashed IP” option.
 * To Milan: Maybe you should have this activated as a standard for every new plugin
   installation.
 * Thanks!
    Ekatarina

 * I will add a notice with the next update, but for now, it will not be activated
   by default, because if users had used the plugin older version and have IP’s 
   logged, they would need to run the hashing tool for old IP’s too, and it is the
   best for administrators to set things up.
