Instead of hard-coding the scheme and host everywhere, use _path
methods to show relative URLs.
Except that our previous setting of
Rails.application.routes.default_url_options in
config.after_initialize made this moot because Rails inserts that
host into all _path helpers for some reason. So revert that
setting.
But then anything that wants an absolute URL doesn't know the
hostname and the root_url helper throws an exception. So make a
Rails.application.root_url shortcut to pass the per-app settings in
Rails.application to root_url.
Now we can just use _path helpers most places but still use _url
ones where we need them, such as in RSS views and e-mail templates.
stories should either be reported for spam (coming later), upvoted,
or left alone rather than being downvoted for being uninteresting.
since users don't like leaving uninteresting things alone, they can
now hide stories from their view without affecting the story's
score.
hiding is implemented as a Vote with its vote set to 0 and the
reason set to "H"
add a /hidden url which shows all of a user's hidden stories
while i'm here, simplify Vote guts and add some tests to make sure
all the flip-flopping stuff works right
always allow a user to "unvote" if they're previously downvoted, but
after a certain number of days, don't accept new downvotes
there isn't really any benefit in downvoting old stuff that is
already off the front pages or on a dead comment thread, other than
to maliciously strip karma for particular users
- add users.is_moderator and look at that for most things, not
is_admin
- make default user in readme be a moderator
- log moderator actions in story edits, comment
deletions/undeletions (and later, user disabling).
- remove ability for moderators to edit comments, there's really no
reason to.
