Progressive pain, but only until 0 otherwise it's unfair. Maybe something less aggressive, but I like the idea of being punished more for 2 days than just 2 points. Skipping a day should be a slap on the wrist, 2 days is no, 3 days should be a big no-no and so on.
Otherwise someone like @pugson could take 8 whole days off and not drop a single spot in the rankings.
Maybe look up game design? I'm sure this is something game designers have solved already.
I like the "-n idea" instead of the lose-streak penalty. I would want to add something like an "intentional break". For example, I'll be offline in September (28 days). Although I'm not super obsessed with the streak I like seeing it grow like one generally likes seeing things grow (ok, not a virus or bacteria but anyway ^^). So, there could be a "shipping status" with 2 options shown on the shipper's profile with a text plus an icon, like: Option 1: "is shipping 👔" and Option 2: "is off-duty 🛀"
Omg I love this idea!
Then on the 2nd off-day it drops by 2, 3rd day by 4, 4th day by 8 ... that would be some crazy fire under butt!
Agree! That would be less painful, than losing whole streak T_T
What? No that wouldn't work haha. Then you'd end up with a negative streak. (E.g. day 4 your streak is 4, and it drops by 8, you end up with -4).

There goes my 8 days off! Thanks, Swizec.
This will be great! For people high on streaks count, would -1 be discouraging enough? Maybe it should be -1%?
Just reset to 0, problem solved! I like this multiplier idea.
I like this idea.
I love this idea. Just be sure to stop at 0 and not push the member negative.

Love this idea! Hate logging a small task if it isn't true shipping! + Would be motivating to get back to work.
You know what is crazy fire under the butt? 💣
Losing the whole streak when not doing a single thing in a day aka how it works at the moment.
It is called streak for a reason.
+1 great idea
As others have suggested, it could just stop at 0 in order to avoid negative streaks.
