What are trophies and points?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask, I'm new here and just wondered what the trophies and points are for? Also, is there a forum FAQ explaining the basic principles like this? I can't find one.
 
Oddly, no one had ever asked that question until now, and yet it seems so obvious now you have :)

short version
Trophies are a reward for actions - each trophy level rewards trophy points.

See if this helps, I just combined info of two others into same one - https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/trophies-faq.3556732/

this post is closest I have made to an FAQ - https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/forum-instructions-and-info-thread.3472856/ - its also in my sig and a sticky in this sub forum so you were really close to finding it :)

Good to see you not lost in space anymore :)

There should be a way to see how many Best answers you have in each trophy but there is currently an unknown bug that has killed the charts that show your scores. I wish I had an answer as to when it will be fixed, but its one of my bugbears.
 
Hi Colif and thanks for the answer :)

I must admit that I still don't really understand the point of these things, but I assume they have a valid purpose or they wouldn't be here, so I will just ignore this feature of the forum as it doesn't seem particularly important. Thanks again :)

Its more something for those who do answer questions here, an incentive to keep trying maybe?

Yeah, you can probably ignore it :)
