It was supposed to be for Status, so that when you answer a question, people will regard you as knowledgeable, but people answer questions quickly and rudely just to gain points, so it really means nothing. Check out some of the answers to the Leaders...alot of them just answer stupid answers.

When you ask a question , your using the services so you have to pay 5 points. However, you get back 3 points when you select a best answer.\n\nFinally, If you do not get a single answer the 5 points are returned back to you.

you get 3 points back when you pick a "best answer" for your questions, so you are really only losing 2 points.\n\nAlso, if you don't want to answer questions you can do those thumbs up or down ratings to get points.

Cos you're only on Level 1, theres a limit. I didnt know this either. Now I'm on Level 2 there is no limit to the number of questions I can answer. I dont believe that you get points for voting, my score hasn't changed since I was able to vote answers in Level 2. Start answering again tomorrow! xx

its the way the game is played. to make the game grow yahoo want people to answer questions = points, which in turn asks more questions  which in turn more answers = points etc....and on and on....if everyone just asked ? for points the game would not grow reward program.

Cause you enjoy loosing 5 points to get 3 back when you choose a best answer. \n\nOr you could enjoy getting answers to your interesting questions.\n\nOr you could just have nothing better to do.\n\nOr you may not be able to think of interesting answers to others so you ask instead.\n\nOr.....\n\nOr......\n\nYour the only one who can answer this question buddy.

I was wondering this same thing before. A lot of people just answer for the points. What honestly what do the points do. Its all very confusing to me.\n\nI guess its nice to ask questions to people with out them truly knowing who you are. So they can't judge.

I'm afraid a lot of people just want to answer silly questions with a single word answer (yes or no) - They get their buz from getting loads of points not from helping people! Sorry rant over!!

Because, you have to prove to Yahoo! that you are out there answering questions with valid answers. Unfortunately, there are too many gamers out there, that just want the points. They answer questions with "non-answers" and it is a waste of everyone's time and energy. Don't worry, once you get up a couple levels, you'll have a hard time using all the answers up that are available to you. If you answer well and you get chosen as best answerer, you have the potential to get several points (2+10+several positive votes).
