I'm not sure, but you probably should rewrite that: if @channel.nil? && !current_associate.watching_channel_id.nil? && current_associate.watching_channel_id > 0
better still why are you checking if watching_channel_id is gt 0? Is watching_channel_id a foreign key for an association for watching channel? then you could do this: if @channel.nil? && current_associate.watching_channel Sorry I couldn't specifically answer your question, but hope the code review was useful.
