Question

WHAT ARE THE points for!??!?

Answer 1

POINTS:-

♦To encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels.

♦ 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.)

♦Points just encourage participation .They also inculcate competition among users to ask and answer more questions

♦Moreover the more points you have the more knowledgeable you are in answering questions and the more experienced you are!

♦So point system is a way to learn, think, answer, and compete...

♦Finally its a bit of challenge!! Can you make it to the top level??
