BadgeOS Account Central Settings:
General Settings:
Allow Central Account?
If enabled, the admin can add the Central Account functionality to the BadgeOS plugin. 
The Central Account functionality provides a mechanism where the BadgeOS points will be awarded from one specific central account and deducted points will be deposited to the same central account.
Central Account:
The Central Account option allows the admin to select any user’s account for the central account. Through that central account, the BadgeOS points will be awarded or deducted. 
Balance Transfer Delay:
The Balance Transfer Delay option allows the admin to set a delay (in minutes, hours, days, months, or years) to transfer the BadgeOS points into the awarded users account. Leave this option empty if you want to transfer the points immediately.
Note:
This delay will be applied only if the BadgeOS points have to be awarded. At the deduction time, the BadgeOS points will be deducted and transferred to the central account immediately.

Allow Min Balance Notification?
If enabled, the admin will get a minimum/low points reminder email.
