At the moment, there's no way of hiding stats from the leaderboards page without actually disabling that entire points type.
I'll write it down for the next version

That page is getting a revamp in the next version, I'll definitely look into adding the actual points.

I could make a FAQ page I suppose

Levels aren't something you set up, but as for example Achievements you could add Posts >= 1, 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000.

The Pro version allows postbit control.

Definitely coming in the next version, it was an oversight to only add controls for the two menu links and not the tab =(

That's an interesting idea, one that could be expanded to make this quite a mod for competitions

It would be against vB.org rules to include this inside vBA itself, but we'll work on changing our website to reflect these differences in the future.

Already a planned feature =)

This is also planned, we're just writing our own Thank You mod first

Also planned =)

I'm concerned about when my promo period is over - do I rebuild then? Will I have stupid 5s then?

Upon first rebuild, where it reads all your past posts etc, you will indeed have stupid %s. We're going to work on a system to avoid this happening.
The activity target is rebuilt daily, and it takes the amount of points gained by users who gained more than X points in the past week (where X is a value you can set in the admincp options) divided by the number of users who gained more than X points in the past week.

This value then becomes 100% of the weekly activity target.
Divide by 7 to get 100% of the daily activity target.
Multiply by 4 to get 100% of the monthly activity target.

Not a prob, you give good suggestions =D
