Points are charged so that it adds some value to the point system. Just like any currency, it has value only when you can 'spend' it or 'use' it. If there is no way points reduce, and everything you do just increases the number of points you have, they don't have much value, do they?\n\nAlso, they also serve the purpose of preventing people from spamming the site with stupid questions.

Well, the points are really meaningless.  They're meant for fun.  Does it really matter if you have points deducted?

i would say getting responses to questions because the points aren't very useful. However, it is a nice feeling to know that you have tried your best to help someone else.

Hi desired,\nYes, this would be against the rules because we consider this gaming for points. Here's our community guidelines for your reference. http://answers.yahoo.com/info/community_guidelines.php\nThanks,\nAmy

Yep, I'm trying to get points and I don't know what they are for.\n\nWhen I don't see anything that interests me anymore.

Haha. I just did that to you.  Instead of going and finding another good question to answer, I just click people's display names to find more questions, so that I save time hunting for a question, and get points.  But sometimes it's just because a person seems nice and has the same opinions as you, and you just wanna help out.

Well I suppose you could but what is the point ( no pun intended) in just gaining points. I have a very low opinion of those who do anything to gain points. Two points please

its just a way of attracting users. since points add up, people will always try to get more points -thinking that they will get rewarded when yahoo answers gets out of beta, but which will not happen ! so, its just a trick !

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

Making points is just like brainstorming weather its to do with your English essays or any other subject you need to make points. They are use full because when you come to writing out the assay or whatever it is your doing you wont remember it all so you have the points to remind you.
