Whenever someone asks a question on here why do we lose to points?

It's set up like that so people don't just ask a whole bunch of really inane questions. You get points back when you pick a best answer or put it up for a vote.

Questions usually get deleted because of an abuse report from another user.  I realize that it may have been a legitimate question to you, but for many users here it's the kind of question that has caused Yahoo! Answers to charge you 2 points to ask.\n\nI know how frustrating it can be to have that happen.  I hope you'll understand why.

Because they are trying to slow dont all these question over loaded. The people who HAVE THE HIGHEST POINT started it because people where answering, questions with out any common sense. And with people coming in here going for points the ones on top see there in danger of someone taking there place but thats ok. YOU GET 3 POINTS BACK PICKING THE BEST ANSWER YOURSELF, hang in there sure to be more rules coming out as people near the top points leaders it only nature for them to complain pressure is upon them to put more pressure on yahoo answers and people get closer to them make rules to slow down people. Thing is the ones at the top of scoreing point here they had no rules thats why they have high point just like any game you play there always a sore loser if they make it hard than it will keep there outher eggo on stop a little longer. but all kings of mountains fall as they will and if that day comes they will be like kids and quiet.

It's either that, or someone is really mad at you on here and reporting you on every single question you ask. Try to keep on writing them and ask why you can't get an explanation..maybe you will have better luck than I had...lol

You don't have to ask a certain number of questions, that's how you lose points. You have to answer a certain amount of questions to get to the next level. It's so people are couraged to help others out.

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.

because people post the same questions over and over with terrible grammar, while the rest of us try to make serious questions.\n\n"Why do people"\n\n\nThis question has been posted many times, use the search feature.\n\n"why people so rude"\n"why people so mean"

Well limiting my answer to only this site, I would say a lot of folks on here are just playing it like it's a game, and going for the points that really get us nowhere...\nI don't understand why the points factor in anyway, we don't get anything out of it...\n\nPeople don't spell right because they don't try and they are in a hurry for whatever reason...\nAs little effort as is required to use the spell check feature, I don't know why they won't use it...\nI wish there was a way for Yahoo to make spelling correctly mandatory some way...\nI hate seeing so many words spelled incorrectly while I spend so much time getting all my answers to come out right and I use the spell check so I don't look dumb...\nI think a lot of folks just don't care either...

Well by just asking your question then every person that answers will get 2 points and when you pick your best answer then that is another 10 points coming from you so if I were you girl then I would start answering questions and try to be chosen as the "best chosen ansewer' to get the points that you lost!

Cause your not answering any to make up for the points lost for asking questions.  And I don't find it that cute.  (HAHAHAHA!)

it depends on the person as to which subject to discuss.  some people just get on here to waste time and ask pointless questions for the heck of it. others are seroius about what they ask and need serious answers.  i still dont understand why there are still those that put stupid remarks like "i dont know" for answers to important questions. it frusterates me but what can you do?

No, no, no. Asking COSTS you points.\n\nANSWERING 'gives u points'.\n\nYou = -2 points.\nMe = +2 points!\n\nThank you, and good night!

It depends on what time of day you post.  If you post in the morning or afternoon a lot of times you'll get better answers.  Also, some people try to get stuff in really fast to get points.  The more thought out answers take time to write so they end up after the quick ones.
