FAQ
Q: Do manual points (awarded by admins) count toward badges and rank?
A: Yes — any manual awards add to the same Family Bond total. When a member’s total reaches the badge or rank threshold, the system will automatically unlock the badge or rank.
Q: How many badges show on a profile?
A: All badges a member has earned are visible on their profile. We recommend keeping badges meaningful and limited so each one feels special.
Q: Can I change points later?
A: If there is any issue, you can connect with the support team.
