Adding to a join query

Hello,

The query below works well. It pulls information from 3 MySQL tables: login, submission, and comment.

It creates a value called totalScore2 based on calculation of values pulled from these three tables.

The MySQL tables “comment” and “submission” both have the following fields:

loginid submissionid

In the table “submission,” each “submissionid” has only one entry/row, and thus only one “loginid” associated with it.

In the table “comment,” the field “submissionid” could have several entries/rows, and could be associated with multiple "loginid"s.

Each time one of the "submissionid"s in “comment” is associated with the same “loginid” that it has in the table “submission,” I would like to add this as a factor to the equation below. I would like to multiple instances like this times (-10).

How could I do this?

Thanks in advance,

John
