Question: Is there a delay as to when points are awarded. For example, new users are doing point paying things, like posting a new topic or giving a like, but their scores don’t show up. I have trust level 0 included in the settings, so I am assuming it’s just a delay in assigning points? If so, how often does it calculate and update? Thank you! --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-gamification/225916)._
