Hey @Laura_Smith!
The “plus” comes from the !add and !substract commands, however I don’t understand what is your request: you don’t say what you’re waiting for.
Also, I don’t have much time to update @potatoeaterlove’s code lately, so I’ll let him deal with it once you’ve replied with more details.
I’m not sure why the “plus” is in the code, I guess it must be important, so if you want to remove it, then the solution is to treat the lack of “plus” as if it was there, which is how I would have written the code in the first place.
On another note, I’m not sure why you’d want to be able to substract to a death counter, so here’s another topic that might fit what you’re looking for a little bit better:
