acctman Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I need to store banned user information after a user has been removed from the site. My options are 1. edited/update the rate_members table and add a ban_type (int's 1-3) field. Or, 2. create a rate_banned table with ban_id ban_userid ban_time ban_ip ban_type (note rate_members table has similar fields different names) ok about the database, currently have 45 tables some people says thats too many. The rate_members table has 50 fields already. any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
