Forum Promotions

[leefish]

This is very interesting indeed. I was thinking only the other day that a thing like this would be the basis for an automated awards system. Instead of a usergroup change the user gets an award - automatically.

I can also use it as it stands for my existing purposes, but it does work in the way I thought would be best. Add a new table - run a task based on a filtered version of the threads/posts table and then execute at a certain time.

I am getting more wary on adding usergroups - I think that they lead to bloat in the forum permissions cache - right now that cache on my site is at 225.61 KB. That seems a lot to me.
