Hey @DannyPancratz, that is correct. Points are deducted for users if their best answer is removed.

Users can have points deducted in a few ways:

1. Best answer removed
2. Unlike a post
3. 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.

@leo-inspired interesting! I had assumed that points only go up, but this approach makes sense. 

Thanks for finding and providing the answer!

What 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.

Thanks, @leo-inspired!
