Does changing the values for gamification scores alter the score values for all events for a user, or does it only apply to new scorable events going forward? For example, if a user has 10 solutions over the course of a year, and the original value for a solution is 10 points, they should have 100 points over the year. If I then change the solution value to 5, will that cause their points to drop to 50 for the year, or will that point change only apply to new solutions?
