We were inconsistent on this one. I consider it particularly useful when
a method starts with a `return` statement.
In other cases, we probably shouldn't have a guard rule in the middle of
a method in any case, but that's a different refactoring.
We were very inconsistent regarding these rules.
Personally I prefer no empty lines around blocks, clases, etc... as
recommended by the Ruby style guide [1], and they're the default values
in rubocop, so those are the settings I'm applying.
The exception is the `private` access modifier, since we were leaving
empty lines around it most of the time. That's the default rubocop rule
as well. Personally I don't have a strong preference about this one.

Naming two variables the same way is confusing at the very least, and
can lead to hard to debug errors. That's why the Ruby interpreter issues
a warning when we do so.
The code `where(id: ids)` is equivalent to `where(id: ids.uniq)`.
Since Rails 5 uses `distinct` instead of `uniq` and in most cases where
we use `uniq` with `pluck` we should simply remove the `uniq` call (as
done in this commit), we're also removing the `Rails/UniqBeforePluck`
rubocop rule.
