Achievements re-indexing issue

[blackcab.th]

We recently re-indexed the achievements for our forum.

The results are 99.9 per cent correct, however we have found some unexplained anomalies.

1 point is awarded for each topic or post, so we would expect to see a member's total achievement points to be very similar to a member's post count. In nearly all cases this is correct.

However, with the anomalies we have a few members whose total achievement points that are tens of thousands of points less than their post count.

Examples would be:

Member UJ: 105k posts/73k points

Member JT: 121k posts/83k points

Does anyone have any idea why this is?

I understand we can manually adjust the achievement points for the 100-200 affected members.

Bear in mind it can only count items which are present. So if you have items that have since been removed from the forum, while their post count would not change, it would of course affect a recount (they arent there to count). Is it possible this is what you are seeing here?

Thank you for your reply. It is quite possible.

Would hidden posts = not be counted during achievement re-indexing?
