What's the [Statistics] used for?

ʀemΐniscent

Hey everyone, I'm a new arrival here since yesterday's yesterday. I've been exploring/learning what I can to try to familiarize myself with everything here so I don't miss anything (who knows if there are secret codes here heh), but I'm confused on what the {Statistics} are used for?

\\

To be more specific, what I know so far is that:

• coins: help to modify any self-post
• loyalty: is earned with each visit/login and helps increase points
• points: are required to level up user status {new arrival here}
• never silver: is different from 'coins' (??)
• contribution: ??
• credit: ??
  

• I think 1, 2, 3 and 6 increase with time if I just leave this tab open even when unattended- but what about 4 and 5?
• What are those 4, 5 and 6 for? 'Credit' appeared in the {Points} settings- but is it for the gameplay or just this forum?
• Do some 'coins' or 'credit' get used up if I change my profile settings? Like my username? (I didn't notice if it took some while I was experimenting ^^")
  

Thank you to anyone willing to help me with this :)

...new arrival here since yesterday's yesterday.

Welp- "yesterday's yesterday" x2... apparently my user status leveled up that fast in just several days as long as I left the tab open. At least now I know what the 'credit' is for. I thought I had to wait for the 'points' and not the 'credit' (it took 50) to change the user status. A little confusing on what the 'points' are then? Also the rest are still a mystery. I explored around and the 'loyal_ity' stat appeared here (in screenshots below), but I still don't know how to use it even when I translated and tried to follow the instructions? And I'm not so familiar with the contacts not mentioned or linked there too ^^"
