about time I saved. Do a db migrate and refer to schema. Created a lot of relations but they all revolve around a new model, UserTagScore, which will house a count of how many votes on answers were associated with which tags that the post was associated with. Next I am going to add a join table between Vote and UserTagScore and clean up the associated references
UserTagScore and UserTagScoreVote objects are created for each tag that the post (which contains the answer that receives the votes) has.
added pry to gemfile and worked on the score_making method in Vote.rb . Work in progress please wait.

created the Vote.score_taker method that lowers associated UserTagScores by -1 and destroys the associated UserTagScoreVote junction tables
