Anyone else agree that it's stupid to take away points for asking a question?

you get the two points back when you 'pick an answer' to your question.

I know what you mean. It is incredibly annoying when looking through the answers to see what people have said, and then you get some stupid people that just write '2pts'... I mean, they're not even trying.  Usually, when I see people that do that, I go and see their profiles and other questions they've answered, and if they have several, I report them.\nIt's annoying, it's like they feel that's what the point of this site is, to get points... \nI say, if you don't know the answer, or are not even going to bother to try and figure it out... then don't answer at all, the point of this site is to ask questions when you truly want to find something out... and to learn what others think, and have to say about various topics and things.

Well, this question is not quite pointless.  It's worth two point...and hopefully ten later.  It would be 'pointless' if I didn't take the time to answer it...and if I don't get the ten extra, it would be 'pointless' to get upset about it.

I agree too....if you dont like the question, then dont answer it..unless your questions were racist or something like that

I agree totally they are here to be cynical without license and to mock and to gain points, some people who ask questions in this category are in need of guidance of any kind and ask whatever is troubling them, it's like praying when times are hard, people should be a little kinder on here I think.

I agree with you all the way girl! I hate it when I'm just asking a simple question and some beeyatch says something rude that has nothing to do with my question.

Yes!  Other people who only come on here at work because everything they want to look at is blocked!!!!\n\nBasically, you do the questions and answers... the points are just for fun... to see how much spare time you have I think... It's like a game where everyone wins and the points don't matter!  Like Whose Line Is It Anyway!

i like asking, but it costs points.\n\nI like answering because, some how, I think everyone is entitled to my opinion. lol Not really.

Some people rush through their answers in order to rack up the points. I personally like to answer questions to the best of my ability. If I want to horse around I sometimes ask a funny and weird question.

Apparently so. I have never understood the attraction of putting meaningless answers just to get points. When I answer it has to have a point, such as to help someone, or because their question is interesting.

I know that some people abuse this site. It is a good site for people to ask questions when they want to know something and/or to get opinions and advise from others. I have saw some pretty dumb questions on here and I have also saw some questions on here that you had no clue as to what they were even talking about.But then you get these people that come along and give smart *** answers. I could do the same thing but I don't. If I don't like what I read,being a dumb question or what ever, I go to the next question. I am not going to be rude like so many others have been. Those folks that talk bad to others needs to grow up their self!!! They are in fact worse than the ones that ask the bad questions.And they know who they are too.Just like you, you asked a good question and I have wondered that same thing many times my self, and look at some of the crazy answers YOU got!!!!I think some of them just write any thing so they can get the points, but me, I don't care about the points, all I want to do is help people if I can. When those that give the stupid answers I think they shouldn't get the points even though it is just 2 points for the answer. So yes they do need filters for this site. If they did have them, you sure wouldn't have gotten some of the answers that you got that is for sure. LOTS OF RUDE FOLKS OUT THERE!!!!!!!!

Yea I lost points because I hurt some holy rollers feelings by droping the F bomb in an answer.

Most of the questions in every category are pretty stupid. You've got to wade through them a little bit and separate the wheat from the chaff, but I think it's worth it.\n\nI'd also point out that one of the beautiful things about YA is that anyone can post thought-provoking questions. If you're down on the quality of questions, it's up to you to raise the bar.

I have been wondering the same thing. Though I understand that people want to confirm their opinion I sometimes find it annoying when a question has about thirty answers saying one thing and one childish answer saying the opposit with the asker choosing this last one as best because it matches her views; leaving a comment on the lines of "And I feel sorry for everyone who doesn't understand this. They are soo wrong."\n\nThanks for letting me vent ;)

Best answer or vote.  It is selfish to throw out a question, have people spend a lot of time on an answer and then let it expire.  I have only deleted one questions so far, and that was because I was being an Ass when I placed it on yahoo.
