You failed to catch my obvious Neverhood reference, so I don't feel obliged to respond to your nonsensical drivel.

Keeping track of post-related 'awards' isnt that much of a problem. Instead of modifying any of the existing tables, create a new table with post id and award id. Even if we assume that awards table grows directly propotional to posts table I dont think it would take too much space.
BRO WHAT A GREAT IDEA I'VE TOTALLY NEVER BUILT A DATABASE BEFORE AND DON'T KNOW ABOUT THESE THINGS THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION BRO I NEVER WOULD'VE DONE IT THAT WAY

45,000 records containing nothing other than three integers (the absolute minimum I'd need to record) is approx 1 MB. If we assume 10% of all posts receive a vote "of some sort" that's about 120,000 posts. If we assume an average of 20 people vote for each of those posts, that becomes 2.4 M records at about 50 MB. Now if I added that (which itself gets checked every-time someone votes) on top of an ever more active forum, believe me when I tell you you'd start to notice it.

If I was raping the entire posts table every-time someone voted to check for alts as well, after a bit of checking, there's actually the potential that this could just about kill the Codex. Using the current IP check feature as an indication, there'd be about a 10 second loading delay every time someone voted.

Like I have said though, it's not a "huge" impost (provided Taluntain has the funds to keep up the server side of things - which is something that actually is becoming more and more of a concern at the moment) but it does have the potential to balloon. Given that, I'd rather put in something that's of some benefit, rather than something that I don't find particularly useful and adds unnecessary overhead. I'd rather go for a more basic "user karma" style system, at least in the first instance (keeping in mind I have to code this thing too).

Therefore, single reported post of such pest
This is the feature that's currently lacking.

as opposed to an account whose owner may currently be busy making ass out of himself
This is also what I'm trying capture.

On the whole, if you're registered and still posting, I generally assume you're making some kind of "not ban worthy" contribution.

Exactly what I meant when I wrote about 'insight'. You post in lowercase and dont do mistakes on purpose (other than Volourn ofc)? Valuable poster. You make Your own posting style and post the same? Troll.
