Click on your points to go to the page that explains them.

They don't do much. As you get more points, you get to higher levels and can do more per day.

Yahoo assumed people wouldn't bother answering questions unless they were "rewarded" (even though the reward is meaningless).

It also could have provided them with some control, preventing new users from filling the site with gunk -- the idea, or so I've always assumed, is it would give staff time to weed out the really bad abusers of the site before they gained unlimited powers.

You use them to ask questions the more questions you answer the more points you get to ask questions and get advice.

The only thing that points are here for are the amount of questions you can ask and answer per day.
