What are you going to do with points? You need points to ask questions. And you can earn your points back by giving great answers to other people's questions. So get started building your reputation now and show the world what you have to offer.

you can answer questions and once you answer questions you get points

Your question is illogical.  It costs U 5 points to ask a qyestion and you only get 3 points in return.  The object is to get points, right.  If you look at the leger you will find people who have never asked a question.  Yahoo has turned us all into puppets and Yahoo is pulling the strings.

So what your saying is that questions on here don't mean anything and its all about how to get meaningless points? I looked at your Best Answers and they are all good ones. Thats what really counts.

I'm not sure I quite understand your question. But the points you get for answers (all 2 of them) are stored in your... let's call it a points bank. You can get more points in you bank by answering more questions. Or you can use up your points by asking questions.

I have to agree that it does take a thoughtful answer to score big on here...but it's not really about the point value for everyone. Some people are just here to use there anonymous screen name to be rude and have a laugh at someone elses expense. Some of us (like myself) put thought into their answers and offer some sincere advise to the asker. I am on level 6 and currently 21% of my answers have been picked as best.Don't get me wrong...I have answered some not so serious questions, and given appropriately not so serious answers to them...I have also found that I have a couple of times put too much thought into my answer because it was a "joke" question...though I didn't see the humor in it. TO each their own. We all have our purpose to serve here, so take the Not so genuine responders with a grain of salt. Enjoy the site...you will find in time that there will be certain members that you will hope to have answer your questions...Happy Q's & A's

That's three questions. That is unfair. You should be handing out fifteen points for those questions, yet you only give out five. This is not fair for the rest of us who willingly give our points away for our questions. You're cheap, really, really, cheap.

answer loads of questions.\n\neven if you don't have a good answer write something...\nlike "uhhhhhhhh... i don't know.  sorry"\n\nits annoying for the person who asked the questions... but it works for you.\n\neither do that, or answer questions REALLY well, so that you'll get chosen for "best answer"  thats a quick 10 points.

Because you are only Level 1\nmore points = more questions/answers

Points aren't everything but this site is really addicting. If you don't want to lose points just don't ask questions unless you really need to know something. I agree that 5 points is too much for asking questions but I don't make the rules. I just play the game :)

it's charging 2 points per questions asked. no charge for answering. actually the charge is that you get 2 points when answering.\n\nyeah, so basically, it's a free service.

good for you.  I just got up to level 3 by answering a lot of questions and voting for best answers.  by the way, you could vote best answer on any question and you get 1point.  i wish they give more than just 1 point.
