I’m seeing a user with negative 20 points in my user dashboard view for last month. How does that happen?
Are points removed when a marked answer is removed? (the points amount matches the 20 we give for answers.)

How do negative points work?

Hey
Users can have points deducted in a few ways:
- Best answer removed
- Unlike a post
- Having a post unliked
This is expected behavior and it’s part of our platform code I can confirm. However, this is only shown on Control in the Analytics Dashboards. It won’t show on the front end so users would never be displayed with negative points in the leaderboard; it would show 0 points instead.

+9Thanks for finding and providing the answer!
+9What about when users are deleted: do their likes go away and thus do the points given to the other users go away?

Good question 🤔
I just tested this and confirm the points for likes do not go away if an user gets deleted.
