Levels?????

Question

what do the points mean on yahoo answers?? And what do the levels mean??

Answer 1

Hello,

Actually... points & levels means nothing.  It's only for FUN.  You can answer Questions & ask questions.

POINTS:: In Yahoo Answers, when you Answer a Question -- you will get 2 points (each);

When your answer has been selected as a Best Answer -- You will gain 10 points;

When you Vote for an Undecided Question -- you will get 1 point (each);

When you Ask a Question -- you will lose 5 points;

When you select a Best Answer for the question you have asked -- You will get back 3 points (from the 5 points you lost);

And also... you will get 1 point each for your daily visit.

LEVELS::

You will be in Level 1 until 249 points :: you can answer 20 questions, vote for 20 undecided questions & can ask 5 questions.

Once you gain 250 points, you will be in Level 2 :: you can answer 40 questions, vote for 20 undecided questions & can ask 10 questions (double to level 1);  

From 1000 points, you will be in level 3 :: answer 60 answers, vote for 60 undecided questions & ask 15 questions.

** One more thing: You can also rate questions & answers.  That means You can give Thumbs-up & Thumbs-down to other answers.

**You can give stars to every question you like or you thought interesting.

Answer 3

To encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take. The points table below summarizes the point values for different actions. While you can't use points to buy or redeem anything, they do allow everyone to recognize how active and helpful you've been. (And they give you another excuse to brag to your friends.)
