What up with the "points" thing?

Question

I dont get why i just started answering ?s and i have 107 points................ i need more details about this whole thing. Ive seen other people's points, and they have less than me, yet they have been doing this much longer...... is there a way to lose points?

Answer 1

Asking questions costs points.  Answering gains points.  Being chosen "best answer" - 10 points.

Look around on this site for more information... "How it works" link.

Answer 2

Yes, you lose points everytime you ask a question but go into the place that says "My profile" scroll down a to the middle & you will see places you can push to find out all the details.
