Does asking a question really cost you five points?

well done. you just watsed 5 points. whereas i just gained 2 points.

I hate to break this to you but by asking this question your 5 points down. But I think you already new that you silly goose.

no,only on this site.

the only way u can find out is asking another question

yup, but me answering this gives me 2. and if you choose me as the best answer, you get 3 back, and i get 20

well you found out by asking this question but yes it costs you 5 points for each question you ask.

Yes it does. It shouldnt though cause it is saying that asking a question is bad.

heck ya, duder. After you ask it, You should see an "Alert" in your avatar place that says something like "Alert - you asked a question (-5 Points)"

You just lost 5. Look at your points. Have a good day. Each person that answers your question gets 2. When you choose a best answer, they get 10, and you will get 3 points back.
