Maybe cause you give crappy answers... that's my guess.

I can't answer this now, I'll get back to you tomorrow when I'm disposed (of). Well, it's all I could think of. It's getting late and I've still got to get 10,000 points to be somebody.

You lose 5 points for asking a question, but when you choose the best answer tomorrow, you get 3 points returned.\n\nIf you answer questions, each question you answer gives you 2 points.\n\nSo if you only ask questions and not choose any best answers, you will lose points and you might not be able to post anymore once you reach 0. You start off with 100.\n\nIf you only answer questions, you will slowly gain points. If someone picks your answer as the best answer, thats a whopping 10 points!\n\nYou should always try and ask questions, but at the same time, answer questions...to even things up =)

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.

If you ask a question, remove a question, or remove an answer, you will not get points. Nevertheless, sometimes it will take a while for you to actually receive the points. I have some that just came and said "you just got a point" and when I look at it, it says it was for something I answered yesterday O.o Don't worry about it. The points shopuld go through eventually =)

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

Choose a category you're familiar with, and start answering questions to the best of your knowledge, and in full detail. The best answers end up paying off. The points are worthless, and basically mean and do nothing. If you're just focused on points, then it would be a waste of time.

I happened upon a question from someone that went something like this: "How do I get a lot of points really fast?" and the answer said to search through all of the questions that had only one or two answers and that were near expiration. That way, you can give a kick-butt answer and rack up the points. Thats how a lot of people have hundreds of best answers. What a game, huh? Some people just don't understand what the meaning of yahoo answers is. \n\nDon't get me wrong, some people actually do give hundreds of great answers and that is how they get the points. But there are a great many that cheat their way to that status.

See its very simple. All you have to do is put a "dummy" question and attract the ones with lotsa points. \n\nThen when they answer that question, they will fall through the dummy question into a pit full of questions and will be lost answering them all. At that right moment you can grab their points and run far far far away... \n\nSee soooo simple.........zzzZZzzzzzzzZZzzzzzz.....

Go to your original question and click on the answerer's picture.  That will bring you to her profile.  From there you can click on one of her questions and just thank her through that.  I am assuming you have resolved your question and picked them as the best answer - you are able to write a comment about their answer when you choose a best answer.  If you already chose a best answer but did not let them know I think the only thing you could do is go to your original question and click on the "add comment" icon and write something there hoping they will read it IF they even go back to the question.  Helpful?  Hope so.

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 you are only on level one and have used up your limit for today.   Try rating and voting for some answers to boost your points score.  If you click on the number of points that you have it will tell you all about point scoring and the levels.
