Click on your picture, and then click the link beside your point total. It explains it there.\n\nEveryone will throw in their two cents answering this questions (earning 2 pts.)

The answer above me was edited to appear correct after others supplied the correct answer first.\n\nI suspect that person is living in a dream world where Yahoo Answer! points are a valuable commodity.\n\nLMBO

I agree with you. I think people do it to accumulate points rather than present a worthwhile and thought out answer. I asked some serious questions and received some smart aleck answers myself. Some of them displayed quite a sense of humor, though! It's what we make it, just like anything in life...

Yahoo intended this site to be a resource for people to ask and answer questions based upon experience. It was expected that it would add a human element that is lacking in most pat textual sources.\n\nUnfortunately, many people are treating this as a chat room and ask questions that either need no answer or do not deserve one. The only real recourse of people is the inane, sarcastic answer.

Nope, never saw the point of it. Fancy message board for kids... God I sound old....\n\nlol

and your point is what?

Some people are not here for answers, they're here to have their own personal opinions validated.\n\nThat's not what this website is for.

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.

such a typical question! why waste points on that?

We get points?\nI have been all around this site several times and I see something like looks like a "Points" counter, but so far I have not seen a single Point.\nDo they come in colors?  I'd like blue ones.\nI did read somewhere that the Points had something to do with "Levels," but I have not seen any "Levels" either.\nMaybe if we keep a level head we will get the point.\nMaybe if we find the point we will be on the level.

It's a "link" site to send you to other places, no doubt at a profit for every click-thru.  It's also chock-full of idiotic products/services that lay claim on the weak and uninformed.\n\nAVOID THAT WEBSITE!

Want to ask so many more, but the points system is set against that.\n\nWhole thing needs a re-think if you ask me.\n\nAnd that will cost you 5 points.
