Currently, there are still some display bugs and certain buttons that cannot be pressed. may want to wait a while before installing this plugin.

I’m currently unsure how to enable point deduction for the Discourse Gamification plugin. This plugin is still a work in progress and is not recommended for new users to install at this time.

This is a very good idea. I will follow the progress of the plugin. I wish you success and thank you for your work.

I am also developing a similar feature for point deduction. The biggest problem now is that the current point change depends on a scheduled task, but the deduction should be executed immediately, otherwise, the user can deduct points indefinitely before the next scheduled task runs. However, if updated immediately, it forces an update of all user leaderboard information, which might bring excessive load.

Enabling point deduction in the Discourse Gamification plugin allows the use of GamificationScoreEvent to customize deduction events. But this still relies on scheduled tasks for updates.

Another disadvantage of relying on scheduled tasks is that points might be deducted into negative numbers.
