Why does Yahoo have a limit for "Daily Question Answering"? I don't want to get points for my answers, I just want to help people by answering their question with the best advice I can offer. :(

I think because they offer points for people for anwsering questions. But I agree with you on why their should be a limit, some days I feel like I could anwser all day but I can't because their is a limit. :(

Because I like to help people, usually. Now it's because I got a top answer and came to the site and thought I'll answer a few before lunch. I feel crap, maybe it'll take my mind off it. This is the last one. I'm having lunch because my answers are getting more sarcastic with every question I read. I'm on about 3,000 and some people are on 30,000 points. I spent hours helping someone with problems because I answered a question on mental health a few days ago. I suppose that is rewarding, to know some one in this world is suffering less and feels someone cares. We live in a world full of greed, violence, evil and perversion. Maybe, helping each other through this medium gives people some hope, some faith and it seems a good idea.

I am not trying to be mean, but that's funny.. spam and advertising?  Once there was no question so I asked "whats the question" and got reported for "not a question not answer"  I am still laughing.. of course it wasn't an answer because there was no question.. you can't figure Yahoo.. I would be pleased to argue with you normally..

I know what you mean about the limits but they do that so that you earn more points to get better limits. I didn't see that one. I wish him the best and hope his cry for help was answered...K

I too believe the limits are there for a reason (just not sure what the reason would be) HOWEVER... next to each avatar is an option to contact this person... I have had a few send me messages through that... so, I guess a system is already in place to respond to an asker if you've already used up your share of answers.\n\nOr... the higher your level... the more questions you are able to answer each day... ask, answer, vote, and rate more questions to gain a higher level and give yourself more allowed answers!

I went into the forum and there are alot of people complaining because their questions are not coming up.  Some of them are losing points some how, 1 person ended up with like 3000 points and said that they hadn't even come close to earning that many.  Others are not getting their points for answering questions.  Apparently they change the program or some darn thing (on the 15th) and they are still working the bugs out.  I was having a rough time trying to answer questions because the answer box wasn't coming up for me.\n\nHope this answers your questions.  They are supposed to be working on all the problems.  lol

If people report you then Yahoo automatically Deletes it\nIt could be a good queston or answer and they will delete it if it was reported \nDid you know you can Report someone for putting their question in the wrong Catagory?

Can we take points away for a stupid question?\n\nJust seems logical to me.  Give points for good answers, take points for bad questions.

You specifically mentioned "Get ten points." This is a violation of Yahoo policy, because they don't want people answering just for the points. A lot of people with that subject don't even have meaningful questions attached.

There's a limit per day depending on your "rank".  As a level one, you can answer 20 questions per day (the different limits are found here:  http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system.php)

There is limitation. In order to gain answer more question, you need to get to higher levels.\n\nI am gaining more points, when someone give me thumb up for anyone my best answer.\n\nI am earning points without doing anything.\n\nAnswer few qestions and when they select it as 'best answer' you get 10 points. each time that answer gets thumb up you get 1 point.\n\nI get 5points/hr. because only few answers were selected as best

I happened upon a question from someone that went something like this: "How do I get a lot of points really fast?" and the answer said to search through all of the questions that had only one or two answers and that were near expiration. That way, you can give a kick-butt answer and rack up the points. Thats how a lot of people have hundreds of best answers. What a game, huh? Some people just don't understand what the meaning of yahoo answers is. \n\nDon't get me wrong, some people actually do give hundreds of great answers and that is how they get the points. But there are a great many that cheat their way to that status.

It means you have reached "Level 2". \n\n"[...] as you attain higher levels, you'll also be able to contribute more to Yahoo! Answers - you can ask, answer, vote and rate more frequently."\n\nOn level 1, you can ask, answer, vote and rate 10 times each day. On level 2 the limit is 20.\n\nSee the Yahoo! Answers "Points and Levels" page (link below).

Just check out the featured question, it has got 32 answers.. And the maximum is 106 or thereabouts, there was a question like yours a few days ago, and the best answerer had pasted a link to that question.... I dont know how to do that,, but you will have to take my word for it........

talk about this site, why so many people ask questions and so many answer questions for a bunch of points that give you nothing.  Discuss why this site is so popular, is it people wanting to help each other or is it the anonymity factor of being able to say anything
