## Ethics and caveats

<Warning>
  Gamification can create side effects:

  * **System gaming**: users doing actions "for points" without real value
  * **Negative stress**: toxic competition, direct comparisons
  * **Burnout**: streak pressure, feeling of always-on

  Guidelines:

  * Opt-out anytime
  * Don't reward quantity over quality
  * Avoid significant economic rewards (can distort behaviour)
  * Monitor team wellbeing
</Warning>

## Deactivation

Settings → Gamification → **Deactivate**. Historical points stay accessible but don't accumulate. No impact on official performance review.
