What are points on Yahoo?

They are used to move you up levels so you can ask and answer and vote more. Read below. When we ask a question it's -5 points. Read below. Go to the Header on answers and hover your cursor over ABOUT then click How answers work. Click Points and Levels. That will show you the level chart, what you can do each day on each level. It is always there for you so you can keep track. When you move to the next level you will get a congrats email. Logging in each day is 1 point Answer a question is 2 points Get Best Answer chosen for that answer is 10 points, plus 1 point for each thumbs up, 50 max Vote for an undecided question is 1 point If you choose someone as best answer to a question you asked, you'll get 3 points back You loose 5 points when asking a question. Make sure you read the Terms of Service and the Community Guidelines so you don't get violations. A violation is -10 points. Too many of those and your account can be suspended. Or depending on the severity, could be just one. You can't trade them, transfer them or sell them. They stay with the account when you close it.

Yahoo Answers points have no affiliation with money. These points are a system to show your role in participation in the site (like a score). If you ask a question, points are deducted; if you ask too much, your low amount of points will show other users that you don't contribute. A high amount of points shows other users that you answer many questions and probably ask questions rarely. Many users see points as motivation to answer questions and become a more respected question answerer. So it's basically a way to track and display your status on Yahoo Answers.

You are doing it all wrong, stop asking questions.

points just move you up a level. answer questions, don't ask, so many.
