Answer 7

people can say what ever they want but u still get 10 points for best, and 2 for answering, and dont use words that are worse than suckish or ure question will be deleted, and dont use hate questions, like who hates whatever

Answer 8

Ms. Sally N. You gain points when you answer questions and more when they choose you as best answer. The more points you get the more questions You can ask. You reach a certain level and things become unlimited.

Are you feeling any better? Hope so...

Answer 9

hi and welcome to yahoo answers

you get 2 poits every time you answer a question, and get 10 poits every time your answer chosen as best answer and you gain one point when you log in per day

you lose poits when you ask a questin and gain some back when you choose the best answer for your question

higher the poits, higher levels

just make sure not to make fun of any body's question

Good luck

Answer 10

it cost 5 points to ask a question so you have 100 points on questions. you can only ask 5 a day but you can anwser as many as you want. you get  10 poinnts if you get best answer and 2 for just answering

Answer 11

hi hun,

i was new yesterday too. the points are for you to ask questions which cost you points and to get points back you have to answer questions to help other people. i find this quite fun.

Answer 12

That's just how many points you start with. Asking a question costs you 5 points, answering gets you 2 points, and getting chosen as the "Best Answer" for a question gets you 10 points. There are also levels which earn you more privileges. Check this link out for more info about how things work:

Answer 17

Hey IMA flower

Answer 18

You get two points for each question you answer.  It costs you points to ask questions.  If someone thinks your answer is the best they can give you ten points, and if you really like an answer someone gives you you can award them ten points.

There are levels.  You have to have a certain number of points to go up a level.  You are probably a level one, and when you go up levels, there is more you can do, but I don't know what each level involves.  Good luck.

Answer 19

Those are just points that they start you out with so you can ask questions. You get points when you answer.

Answer 20

that's how many points you start off with.....you have to get to level 2 before you can rate answers.....hmm....if you visit every day you get a point.....each answer is 2 points, ask a question they take 5 away, and for a best answer you get 10 points.....hope i've helped...have a good one!!
