Easy way to deduct points?

[scrappy]

I have SMF shop on my site and I use it to encourage members to post and participate in as much as we have going on as possible.  Each topic and new post receive points automatically of course, but I even keep track of members who upload to our gallery and "win" competitions etc and I add their points manually.  At the end of each month, the member with the most points wins a small prize from me.

To make it fair on other members, and to those who may not chat as much  , I would like to deduct an amount of points as a one-off thing, most likely only once a month.  If I enter in the negative amount when "sending" someone points, it doesn't allow me to do that (and says I'm stealing  ).

Any ideas?  Thanks!

i dont understand sorry

who are you deducting from? and cant you just alter users money totals in smfshops admin

If you're subtracting credits from only one user, use the "Members' Inventory". Type the members name into the box, and click on "Next -->". It will show you all their inventory items, and the amount of money they have. Simply edit the amount

To subtract an amount from everyone, phpMyAdmin can help you. Run this query in phpMyAdmin (via the SQL tab):

Code: [Select]

UPDATE smf_members SET money = money - 50
Change '50' to the amount you'd like to subtract
