Module development and code questions

Just wondering if assigning a negative value to the points for a given task in the user points module would have the result of subtracting points from a user?

Thanks,

I am about to write a module which contains a new node type. My problem is that the node creation form always shows the 'title' field and the information about the 'author'.

Is this a bug?

thanks for the reaction

Right now, I use hook_user to add a portion of the user registration/edit screen that deals with the application's user settings. I've put code into the 'validate', 'update' and 'insert' options, but I've tried:
