A am not a Wordpress user. If you have more input upon this it's welcome.

We once had a feedback system with login in the TER FE. It wasn't a success.
That's why I changed three parameters:

1.) Ask the people for feedback just in the place where they discover issues.
2.) Make feedback most simple.
3.) Keep it anonymous.

Right, in theory you could build a bot, that switches IPs only to manipulate the results.

But, is that a real world scenario? For me it is not until it happens. 
Only a member of the community would have the knowlegde and 
motivation to do that. That would really b a destructive behaviour.

I would trade a higher significane by higher amount for the risk of manipulation.

In the moment it gets manipulated a login becomes necessary. 

Have a nice day
