First version of blacklist plugin. Replaces custom code in identi.ca's
config.php, which was getting scary and long. Also correctly handles
changed nicknames or URLs in profile settings and using 'forbidden'
URLs in notice text.
Sorting on notice.id when our primary selector was notice_inbox.user_id caused a filesort and table scan of the notice table.
Switchng to notice_inbox's notice_id means we can use our index, and everything comes right up.
Before:
mysql> explain SELECT notice.id AS id FROM notice JOIN notice_inbox ON notice.id = notice_inbox.notice_id WHERE notice_inbox.user_id = 18574 AND notice.repeat_of IS NULL ORDER BY notice.id DESC LIMIT 61 OFFSET 0;
+----+-------------+--------------+--------+------------------------------------+---------+---------+-------------------------------+--------+----------------------------------------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+--------------+--------+------------------------------------+---------+---------+-------------------------------+--------+----------------------------------------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | notice_inbox | ref | PRIMARY,notice_inbox_notice_id_idx | PRIMARY | 4 | const | 102600 | Using index; Using temporary; Using filesort |
| 1 | SIMPLE | notice | eq_ref | PRIMARY | PRIMARY | 4 | stoica.notice_inbox.notice_id | 1 | Using index |
+----+-------------+--------------+--------+------------------------------------+---------+---------+-------------------------------+--------+----------------------------------------------+
After:
mysql> explain SELECT notice.id AS id FROM notice JOIN notice_inbox ON notice.id = notice_inbox.notice_id WHERE notice_inbox.user_id = 18574 AND notice.repeat_of IS NULL ORDER BY notice_id DESC LIMIT 61 OFFSET 0;
+----+-------------+--------------+--------+------------------------------------+---------+---------+-------------------------------+--------+--------------------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+--------------+--------+------------------------------------+---------+---------+-------------------------------+--------+--------------------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | notice_inbox | ref | PRIMARY,notice_inbox_notice_id_idx | PRIMARY | 4 | const | 102816 | Using where; Using index |
| 1 | SIMPLE | notice | eq_ref | PRIMARY,notice_repeatof_idx | PRIMARY | 4 | stoica.notice_inbox.notice_id | 1 | Using where |

Used to query user's emails.
Mostly used for administration, to see if a user requesting something is who they say.
Also, some people assume that the admin knows this data, and says things like:
"If you could do _____ with the account connected to this email".
It'd be nice if we could do that without raw SQL.
