Why do we have points and levels?

Why do we have points and levels on Yahoo! answers?

  • Why?

  • Answer:

    the points are like rewards and a unit of value. you use them to ask questions, and you gain them when you answer. the levels distinguish who answers the most questions, and who answers them the best. its like a status thing in the y!a community.
