Re: Polymorphic advice for this design

Hi Ar,

End-users can either be registered or non-registered users. Any type
of user can suggest a business and a city.

When they suggest a city, they have to put in their first_name,
last_name, email and city name.

When they suggest a business. They have to put in their first_name,
last_name, email, business name and business address.

Initially, I had it working with two separate models: city_suggestion
and business_suggestion. However, since both tables have fields that
can be reused (i.e. first_name, last_name, email), I was thinking of
using a polymorphic association.

I am not sure if this is the right approach or whether I should have
just stuck with my original solution (i.e. two separate tables:
city_suggestion and business_suggestion)
