The more points you get, the more questions you can ask at one time.  Also you get to find out the answers to the questions first when you have more points.  So that's pretty much it.  I think it's just a way to get us to come on here and ask and answer questions.  And it works. :-)

good question.  I have always had a few questions that I've wanted answer for and have never known who to ask.  now I can just ask them.  but in the end, I see my points tick down, so since I'm a saver and not a spender in real life I en up answering peoples questions like "what is your purpose in answers.yahoo.com?" in hopes to earn 10 point.  Why I do that, I do not know but I sure hope that I get the right answers.   :)

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.

In 2 weeks time, answering over a thousand questions, and asking 465 (the -2 for each question only started a short while ago, not for the whole time he was online).  Getting voted best answer, with thumbs up.  Being able to answer so many more questions with each level he achieved.  Yes, it's possible.  \n\nThis can be addictive and if you spend enough time on it, you can rack up a lot of points.  Still don't know what they're good for.  \n\nI don't know about the 16,000 points, maybe that was an error that Yahoo corrected.

First if your worried about losing points make sure your spelling is right, u mean fair instead of far, and lose instead of loes, anyways yes it is fair since even with the loss of points there are a lot of useless questions being asked, so if points were not taken then there would be ten times more useless questions, I’m sure if they didn't take points we would be dealing with more of your stupid questions, since 100 points to start with is more than enough to ask useful questions, I hope I’ve answered your question.

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.

No...I respond to help people out. I also ask the maximun questions each day. So if I were in it for just the points I would ask questions, cause they give you -2. :-)
