Subtract number of broken blocks from number of placed blocks about minecraftstats HOT 2 OPEN

Many awards used to work like this, but it was changed because negative scores would become possible in many cases. If you mine naturally generated blocks, that also counts as "breaking" and so you'd be punished for exploring. In your example, if somebody mined tracks in an abandoned mineshaft, those would be subtracted.

The negative score can easily be avoided by limiting it to zero. But there would still be no way to find out if a broken block was placed by the same player before, and this could cause unfairness.

It would be nice to get feedback from others on this subject, I will change the issue's title to something more clear.

As an alternative proposal, these kinds of awards could be changed to number of rails crafted rather than placed?
