Hello Community,
We just upgraded our community to the newest version and I have to say I was so excited about the leaderboard. We have 2 top contributors who are very vocal about disliking it and demanding that we remove it.
Would like to see if there is any way to exclude a couple of members who don’t want to show here.
I was looking and maybe we could create a custom group in the community and then exclude those people per:

Has anyone done something similar before?

I’ve just had a go on my test site, and this looks like it’s possible. 👍
I went to `/admin/plugins/gamification` and edited the leaderboard I wanted to exclude the users from using the pencil icon. In there I left ‘include groups’ blank, and added my custom group to ‘exclude groups’, and that gave me the leaderboard but with just those couple of test users missing.
It’s quite a new plugin, and may not suit every community, but hopefully this helps. 🙂🤞
