I notice there's a "Reminder for inactive users" in the upcoming version but i'm wondering if there's a feature where the points of users are decreased after the user becomes inactive for xx days. Points keep decreasing as per his inactivity every x days till it becomes 0 points.

This is very important since some users stay on top of the Leader Board after several months of inactivity!!

or is this featured already in existence and i didn't know about it?
I don't know if this exist already but I think you can easily create this with this method.

You can create a cron job to decrease it automatically.
1. Here's how it works, enable login status (this is where you will get the last login date)
2. Create a cron job that will run a script that check last login date of user, then run an sql to remove some points

Here's the query for you, if you need a code to create a new point design



INSERT INTO 

`#_social_points` (

`command`,

`extension`,

`title`,

`description`,

`alias`,

`created`,

`threshold`,

`interval`,

`points`,

`state`,

`params`) VALUES (

'remove.points',

'com_easysocial',

'COM_EASYSOCIAL_POINTS_INACTIVITY',

'COM_EASYSOCIAL_POINTS_INACTIVITY',

'inactivity',

NOW(),

NULL,

'0',

'-20',

'1',

'')


Then just map it to the user in points activity.

Thank You.

It would be great however if its included in the EasySocial package. I feel this is a very important feature.

Somehow, this manual work is too much work!
