How do you get Yahoo! points?

Question

I just found out about points today and I don't know how you earn them.

Answer 1

Do not ask so many questions points are taken away. Answer your quota of questions each day. Vote on your quota of undecided questions each day. Give really good answers so maybe your answer will get chosen best answer. Good luck!!!

Answering questions=2pts

Best answer=10pts

Visiting YQA each day=1pt

Choosing your own Best answer=3pts

Voting on undecided question =1pt

For each thumbs up on BA = 1 pt up to 50 pts.

Asking questions = -5

Deleting a question/answer= -2

Violation = -10

Hope this helps!!!

Answer 2

answering a question - 2 points-make these detailed and understandable-and yes, you can only answer once. if you want to add things, there is a tiny little Edit under each answer that you post.

choosing a best answer when you ask a question- 3 points

^how to do this: after 4 hours, go back to your question. there will be blue boxes that say Choose This Answer. pick the best answer and click the box under that.

voting for best answers- 1 point

^if you do not choose a best answer, after 4 days your question will go into voting so that other users will vote the best answer on your question. you can still vote, but you will only get best answers. plus, you can vote for other peoples questions.

getting a best answer- 10 points (plus a point for every thumbs up you recieved on your answer)

^thumbs up and down are under every answer on every question. once you get to level 2, you can rate answers with thumbs up and down

visiting yahoo answers- 1 point

you lose points by..

asking questions - -5 points

Answer 4

you get points for many things such as answering questions, voting on undecided questions, and even for visiting yahoo answers. You can also loose points by getting violations, and asking questions such as this one, but when you pick a best answer you get three points back.

If you mean Yahoo Answers points answer more questions and ask less cause this take points away from you. BTW Yahoo Answers question points don't get you anything, is just a rating thing
