> - ~~Add `excluded_groups_ids` to leaderboard settings~~

It looks like this feature didn’t make it to development in 2022. At least, I don’t see it in the gamification plugin settings. Is there any way for people to individually be able to turn off participation in gamification? Alternately, is there a different way to exclude some users from gamification?

Hi there. I believe you’d need to put them in a group. You can then exclude a group in the leaderboard settngs when you create a new leaderboard:

I just found these settings. Thank you! That’s a great solution.
