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 poin…

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.

The scorable categories were indeed the issue due to reorganizing categories. Note to others, don’t mess with 10 different things at once :facepalm: Thank you all and especially @JammyDodger for your help!
