Salting makes rainbow tables pretty much useless, and salting has been a standard practise for a few decades now.

Just to give you some opposite example, WordPress, Magento, Drupal, Django are using salts almost 2 decades now.

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
