How does the points system work?

Question

I am new and i dont understand this point thing. If someone would help me you will greatly appreiated!

Answer 1

2 point for answering question, -5 for asking question, 10 points for best answer

Answer 2

I've been wondering that myself.   So far it's 2 points for an answer and 10 for a best answer.   -5 is for a question.  But as far as what the points are good for?   I don't really know.  I feel like I'm on Whose Line is it Anyway and the points don't matter.   Although I did fall across a thing that said that the points were sort of to show you how many times a person has answered.   If you want to know that just place your cursor on their profile and it tells you.    Good Luck and happy answering.

Answer 3
