Re: How to setup relationships in model User has a Status

AFAIK,
In general we have three statuses for every account
created but not active (0)
activated (1)
banned (-1)

It is better to stick to one table (users), so this table have an
indexed integer field called status.

As for "Active", ''Banned", etc...
It is just a convention and 9X% of the queries around the users table
do not need those strings. just because I don't want to say 100%
(because I hate the number 100)
