My Patronage
Your private record of the tips, gifts, boosts and memberships you've given and received, and how to thank an anonymous supporter.
Four ways:
- Choose My Patronage in your profile menu (right under Trophy Case).
- Open the profile card menu (the … button on your own profile card).
- Press Visit your My Patronage page at the bottom of Settings → Credits.
- Follow See My Patronage on the Your supporters · all time card in Analytics.
No. My Patronage is private, like your credit balance. It isn't a tab on your profile, and no one else can open yours. A poet you supported sees that support on their own Received side, and you see it on your Given side.
Credits given is everything you've spent on tips, gifts and boosts for other poets. Poets supported is how many different poets you've backed. Credits received is what other members have sent you, and how many members it came from. All three count all time: the filters change the list, never these numbers. More on the totals →
A gifted boost puts your poem in front of more readers, but the credits paid for the boost, not your wallet. So on your Received side it shows Boost, and it doesn't add to your credits received. The person who sent it sees what it cost them on their Given side.
A GS Pro membership gift is paid in dollars, not credits. It's listed in My Patronage (it shows 1 Year Pro or 1 Month Pro and how long it runs), but it's left out of the credit totals at the top. Gifting a GS Pro membership →
Open the Received side of My Patronage and press Say thanks on the gift from "an anonymous supporter." They get a notification that you said thanks, and neither of you learns who the other is from it. The button then reads Thanked!. Membership gifts get the button whether or not the giver used their name. More on saying thanks →
Type their username in Search by poet. The line above the list then sums it up, for example "Showing 4 entries with @maya · 200 credits given." Flip the Given / Received switch to see the other direction, and press Clear filters to go back to everything.
The support still happened, so it stays on your record and in your totals. The row just can't name a poet whose account has closed, or link to a poem that has been removed or made private.
The Your supporters · all time card always counts all time, so it doesn't follow the time period you pick above it. For a breakdown by time, use the Time filter in My Patronage.
