 * The only way I can think of for this is a manual process involving going into
   the WP-admin user profile for the user and updating the point value listed there.
   This is similar to how we presently handle the “admin-only” achievements. There
   should be a text box with their present point total listed.

 * Points and badges can be 2 different things, but you may want to consider it 
   in future updates. It could allow for much better progression.

 * Not quite sure what you’re suggesting in your latest reply. Could you please 
   clarify?

 * Currently you can create a badge that is awarded when a member has earned a certain
   number of points. However, you can only award points via a badge. What I am suggesting
   is you also allow awarding points without awarding a badge. For example 5 points
   for every comment.
 * Lets say you want to award a badge for earning 100 points. And lets say you could
   award points for comments, making friends, creating a forum topic, etc. This 
   will allow members to earn badges by mixing and matching activities. Currently
   you would need to set a fixed number of times each activity must be completed(
   10 comments, 10 friends, 10 forum topics), instead of allowing a mix (20 comments,
   5 friends, 5 forum topics or 5 comments, 15 friends, 10 forum topics, etc).

 * Ahh, I think I see what you mean. Have an automated way to earn just the points,
   without the corresponding achievement/badge. Whereas right now the only way to
   do that is going to be tedious and manual the way I originally suggested.
 * Well, I can’t promise anything, but I can suggest it as an enhancement. You can
   follow along with any developments at the GitHub link below

 * Marking resolved as it’s a known enhancement request.
