Stop updating the fav_string attribute on posts. The column still exists
on the table, but is no longer used or updated.
Like the pool_string in 7d503f08, the fav_string was used in the past to
facilitate `fav:X` searches. Posts had a hidden fav_string column that
contained a list of every user who favorited the post. These were
treated like fake hidden tags on the post so that a search for `fav:X`
was treated like a tag search.
The fav_string attribute has been unused for search purposes for a while
now. It was only kept because of technicalities that required
departitioning the favorites table first (340e1008e) before it could be
removed. Basically, removing favorites with `@favorite.destroy` was
slow because Rails always deletes object by ID, but we didn't have an
index on favorites.id, and we couldn't easily add one until the
favorites table was departitioned.
Fixes#4652. See https://github.com/danbooru/danbooru/issues/4652#issuecomment-754993802
for more discussion of issues caused by the fav_string (in short: write
amplification, post table bloat, and favorite inconsistency problems).
* Refactor to move upgrade logic from UserPromotion to UserUpgrade.
* Send the recipient and the purchaser of a gifted upgrade separate
dmail notifications.
New rules for user promotions:
* Moderators can no longer promote other users to moderator level. Only
Admins can promote users to Mod level. Mods can only promote up to Builder level.
* Admins can no longer promote other users to Admin level. Only Owners
can promote users to Admin. Admins can only promote up to Mod level.
* Admins can no longer demote themselves or other admins.
These rules are being changed to account for the new Owner user level.
Also change it so that when a user upgrades their account, the promotion
is done by DanbooruBot. This means that the inviter and the mod action
will show DanbooruBot as the promoter instead of the user themselves.
This was a hack to deal with the Cloudflare check sometimes being slow
or timing out during tests. The call to https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/ips
could hang if there were IPv6 connectivity problems. If this happens, make
sure that IPv6 is configured properly and that `curl -v --http1.1 -6 https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/ips`
works.
Create the DanbooruBot account in db/seeds.rb instead of in an
initializer. Move the old db/seeds.rb to db/populate.rb.
Fixes a bug introduced in e2eb45a. Creating DanbooruBot in an
initializer was wrong because in a fresh install the users table doesn't
exist yet. This caused `rake db:migrate` to fail.
