Thank you for confirming @JammyDodger . We end up recalculating gamification when we merge user accounts anyway, so it’s only a matter of time before the new point values are applied for all previous events.

I was hoping the gamification plugin would leave the old point values in tact even if there was a recalculation, but it looks like we need to figure out another way to preserve the old points.
