Questions
About gamification
How do members earn points?
Through badges and challenge prizes, plus any points an admin gives by hand. Activities say what to count; a badge or a challenge decides what it is worth. That keeps points meaningful and hard to farm.
Does it cover courses as well as the community?
Yes. Lessons, topics, quizzes, assignments and courses count alongside posts, comments, reactions, groups and daily visits.
What happens if I remove a badge from a member?
The points it paid are taken back, and so is any reward it gave, such as a coupon.
Is gamification part of the free plugin?
No. Gamification comes with TrueCommunity Pro and is included in every plan.
