P.S.it is still level 1

PLZ HELP!!!

Answer 1

you most likely asked a question. questions are minus 5 points

Answer 2

Asking questions costs you 5 points per question.  You must have asked 4 questions.

Answer 3

Scott L

How many questions did you ask?

they are 5 pts each.

this means if you asked 4 questions at 5 points each

that is 20 pts.

This is one possibility

Another one could be a violation against the community guidelines

You can check your emails if its a notice from Yahoo Answers

saying Notice of violation

it will say  10 points deducted from your score

10 x 2 = 20 pts

You can also check by going to my profile

scroll down then go to activity details

click that it should tell you if there was a violation

Scott

you need to answer questions 2 pts

get picked as having the best answer 10 pts

pick the person who answered your question best 3 pts

vote undecided questions also picking best answer 1 pts.
