How are we supposed to use our credits on this website? I just found out how many I have. I do not know their significance.


For the first time in a months, today I used my laptop to log onto AnswerMug instead of my smartphone.  Bigger screen means different features are displayed, one of which being the graphic that I've copied below.  This may very well be the third of fourth time since January of 2020 that I have used the laptop.  Since I never see or hardly ever see all of these features, I am neither cognizant of them nor do I assign them much importance.  Today, I noticed this and it makes me wonder about opinions from any of you who care to chime in, whether or not you use them an if so, in which ways?

    You can use them to send gifts to people. Also, bragging rights. You're number 1.

    I use my credits to pay off my balance owing because I get fines for mistakes in spelling, grammer and pronunciation but you can use your credits to make online purchases of tildes and buy ice cream treats at Dairy Queen.

    I used up my points in bribes and payoffs to other members. Just so you know, that doesn't work on the moderators.

    Apparently you do know how to
    use them, you've spent 4250 of them.
    It seems you are just showing off? haha

      Not so, mon ami, it is not a question of me attempting to show off.

      First of all, when comparing the total number of credits against those used, the percentage of the latter represents clumsy attempts on my part since the year 2015 to respond in kind to gifts that were bestowed upon me by other members. I posted this question today because someone just sent me yet another such gift, I clicked on it to see what it was, and I found the long list of gifts that have been sent to me since day one. There is a possibility that others amongst the membership know better than I do how to manipulate/manage that feature. Additionally, I posted it due to my lack of understanding as to the point of credits and/ gifts on the first place. Basically, I find the “points” kind of pointless.

      I welcome anyone’s useful explanation or clarification for the accumulation of points, that’s all.

    I'm not too successful in trying to use them, either. :)

    EDIT: I had to add the comma.  :)

    Randy, give them all to me so I can be number one for five minutes and take a screenshot. Then I will give them all back to you. This is like one of those team building trust exercises that I do in workshops...you do trust me, DON‘T YOU?

      Excuse me, but who are you again?  I’m not sure we’ve ever met. 


      Just joking!  I just sent you over 163,000 credits, but since I’m using the smartphone, I can’t see either your new total or my new total. Please let me know if you got them. 

    Love, Randall
