You can rate best answers for one point each.  If you give someone a thumbs up, they get a point, too.

How about giving me the ten points?  Well, there's your question.  Thanks.

I guess I just want the points.\n\nIn the time it took you to type out your question, which was done rather neatly I might add, you could've already gotten an answer.

To get points: \nAsk a question (you lose 5 points), \nChoose a best answer for your question (3 points),\nAnswer a question (2 points,\nLog in to Yahoo! Answers (1 point per day for this!),\nVote for a best answer (1 point),\nRate a best answer (1 point),\nHave your answer selected as the best answer (10 points),\nReceive a "thumbs-up" rating on a best answer that you wrote (up to 50 thumbs-up are counted, 1 point per "thumbs-up"

You are asking about two things: posting and answering.\n\nPosting:\n0 points directly\n5 points for picking the best or calling a vote\n\nAnswering:\n2 points for answering\n10 points if your answer is picked as best. Let's say this could happen 50% of the time if you pick questions carefully.\n1 point per thumbs up. Once the site gets rolling, let's say each best answer above gets another 6 points.\n(This means each answer picked as best gets 16+2 points, but an answer not picked gets 0+2 points.)\n\nYou also get one point per day just for logging in. Adding it up, you can get an average 16 points/day by asking and answering (each) one question.\n\nYou need 4900 more points to get to level 5, so that would take 307 days. Answering/asking more than one per day will go even faster.

Nothing, just trying to get people to participate in the answers program. People are hooked on points even though it doesn't mean anything except to prove you spend too much time on the computer

30 points?  How do you do that, exactly?  I'll take the two though...

forget about it,  points mean nothing.\n\nJust answer questions so you can help people.  God will reward you for your goodness.

good for you.  I just got up to level 3 by answering a lot of questions and voting for best answers.  by the way, you could vote best answer on any question and you get 1point.  i wish they give more than just 1 point.

You can choose their answer as best. Or find other questions which they have answered and gotten chosen as best and give them a thumb's up rating, this will give them a point.\n\nThey did already get 2 points for helping you, just by answering your question.

I just found out about this site this week. Kinda stumbled upon it while bored at work. And I've spent enough time each day to use up my 10 Q & A's or whatever it is that stops me from posting. \n\nI currently have 177 points, I'm looking forward to getting to the next phases of this thing....I don't know why, but I like working towards a goal, and it's kinda fun to help people and offer opinions....plus I have nothing better to do at work!! ;)

Whatever... thanks for the 2 points by the way, but in the other side this is useless! There is no need of points in here, but experience, knowledge and friendship!\nAnd I am a girl!
