Where as an active member who logged in today and has almost 200 posts, and logged in regularly since joining the site, has 132 user points. The second user has more points for threads and posts, but the total for him is 612, where as the non active 1 post member, has a total of 805.
The option for points per day online, then says underneath days since registering, and there is 13 months difference between join dates, so I set that to 0 to see if that corrected the user points and it only lowered it slightly.

The product needs to reward active members and with those stats it leaves it very confusing and I may have to uninstall vbexperience.

Simply put points for per day online to 0 and do an recount. You need to recount always whenever you change points. Also, there is a statistics module where you can find out where exactly a user gains points. Possibly he has some visitor comments, blogs, downloads, etc....

Additionally, there is a modification called RadioActivity which reduces points of a user if he become inactive.
