I am not gaining points answering people's post

See Share what you know and get recognized - Apple Support for details of how points are awarded within the community. If you post helpful answers they will come.

Others have to UPVOTE your response for you to get points. Merely answering does not.

The Terms of Use here do not allow us to ask for points.

After reviewing your posts, it seems that most are just AI generated responses. I find these less likely to gain upvotes as they do not rely on the users experience with tested answers. Many times AI responses are simply wrong.

I was assuming this was similar to google map's point system, you answer a question and you get points.

And thought that it would be the same here.

Keep contributing and helping other users. Over time your points will increase. Others will appreciate your help so don't get discouraged because of points.

Seriously? Here is your original post:

I am not gaining points answering people's post

I am stuck on 12 points after answering multiple of people's questions

Is this just a daily limit for new users?

It has been my observation that people who focus primarily on points often don't stay around very long. They come to realize that the points system isn't especially fair. The Hosts keep trying to make it better but with only limited success.

Participate here because you enjoy it.
