Question

Whats the deal with this goofy points system? Trolls have multiple id's so this seems silly.?

Answer 1

uh, wat?

Answer 2

I don't get it either.  Perhaps to keep us from being on here ALL day?  lol

Answer 3

The points system is a tad pointless (no pun intended) but if you are going to do the Y!A thing, then why not just embrace it and answer questions instead of asking them so you don't continuosly loose points therefore gaining points and be content with the system.

Give it a shot, you only live once you know.

Answer 4

Some people take this stuff way to seriously.

Click on your picture, scroll down until you see MY SCORE on the right.  Click in there you will find out about the point system.

Some people have multiple IDs because that get kicked off for being rude or obnoxious and come back as someone else.

Answer 5

points system is to increase in rank so that you are able to help more people, go look at your personal page.

And well the trolls suck for having more than one ID

Answer 6

Just stick to one ID when asking questions or else you will never get enough points to have a balance to ask anymore questions.

I only answer questions, because I'm a goddam genius and have no need to ask any.

Answer 7

What in God's name are you talking about?

Answer 8

i no yahoo is asking 4 trouble

Answer 9

d**n trolls

Answer 10

I am not a troll. I have only one id. I enjoy answering questions and trying to help people and the points are just feedback that let's me know that sometimes my advice is appreciated (i.e. best answers). I think if you look at the leaderboard, you see that the people in the highest ranges are considerate, thoughtful and helpful people who are trying to make this forum work as it is supposed to. As for the trolls, report them for abuse!
