Achievements - are they applied retrospectively?

Hi Lisa,

I believe adding them retrospectively is only possible by running a script in the administrator.
New achievements usually only trigger when the threshold is met.
So as an example if your level 2 achievement is reching 250 points and a user has 245 points today, the level 1 badge will not be added to the profile.
Only after earning another 5 points the level 2 achievement will be awarded and appear.

Thanks Lennert 

So what happens if I reduce the level 2 from 250 points to 200 and someone already has 225 points? When would they get the level 2 acheivement? Would it trigger as soon as they get another point or will they just skip the whole level until they get to enough points for a level 3 say at 275 points?

I would believe so, it may depend on how the automation is written and how restrictive it is in its checks before awarding it.
