All to do with getting points,  which actually are totally pointless anyway.  Please therefore chose this as the best answer!

wow thanks also for these two points. wow i really appreciated it. so mch. don't worry about those points. they are free. no i'm just joking. but yes, u do have two points but is it deserving. yahoo answers is not all about having two points and the like. it's about helping other people. give them some pieces of advice. ok!!! those 10 points are just incentives for being intelligent.

yes of course. What are points? I mean what do they really do? You get nothing so there is no point in the points lol. I find it interesting to ask things and see things from a different point of view.

Nothing.  Only psychological rewards.  Points scheme is ingenious on Yahoo's part--look at how motivated everyone is to get points!

Earning points occurs naturally while we're trying to answer questions and help other people. However, at times points seem more appealing that that. They call out to people's competitive spirit and encourage them to stay up all night on Yahoo! Answers.\n\nOf course, when you're getting started, points serve as a basis for determining what your daily limits will be for answering questions and otherwise participating on the site, so it's good to get up a few levels so you won't end up hitting your limit just when there was one question you really wanted to answer.
