@postmodern The one time I've run into this, we did STI sub-classes. I've often been told that default scopes are a hard avoid.

@postmodern Either approach can work or otherwise easily get out of hand though I’ve found default scope to be the more frustrating of the two.

@rossta how so? Can't you just drop down to the base-class to bypass the default scope filtering?
