Hello! I recently installed the gamification plugin, and one of our community members is reporting that his score dropped from over 1060 points all time to 1020-ish. (Full thread here.)
Is there anything that would cause someone to lose points? As far as I can tell, there are only ways to gain points.
The scores do recalculate, so it is possible to see some small dips if posts or topics are deleted for instance, or if solutions are marked and then changed.
That makes sense, but it seems like they are changing dramatically from day to day (I’ve only had the plugin installed for about a week). I did backfill the scores when I first installed it.
Looking at the logs, the user whose points are changing doesn’t seem to align with posts that have been deleted over this time.
Sometimes scorable categories can be relevant if you don’t have scoring sitewide? Moving topics between scoring and non-scoring categories could account for some changes.
Though I think the last time we were tracking the scoring blip from the previous bug topic it helped to run the backfill again and compare the results. Could you give that a go and see if there’s a difference?
