🔻 1. Deleted Casts or Engagements

If you delete a cast that had likes, recasts, or replies — or someone else deletes a cast that engaged with yours — you lose the points tied to those interactions.

⸻

📉 2. Recalculation or Backfilling

The leaderboard often recalculates based on rolling timeframes (e.g., last 7 days). So if your old posts age out and new ones don’t perform as well, your score drops.

⸻

🗑 3. Spam or Low-Quality Content Penalty

Some leaderboards are tied to systems that detect spammy behavior (e.g., too many low-effort replies, cast farming). These might quietly penalize your score or exclude certain actions.

⸻

⚖️ 4. Bot or Sybil Detection

If the algorithm flags your interactions as inauthentic (e.g., farming likes from the same accounts, coordinating with alts), your points can be reduced or ignored.
