Life is a game.
For me its like playing a game. The game motivates me to play. And in the process, I learn some interesting things.

Its a form of reward system and to stop or at least reduce spam, the lower levels are limited to the number of answers and questions you can post in 24 hours, But as you gain more points you can ask more and answer more. I believe the thinking behind it is that the people that could abuse a free for all site will get bored before the reach the level where there are no limits.

Just to make a contest out of it. The more points you have the more privilages your given.
Just click on the points page for a detailed answer.
It's silly but it gives you a goal to work towards.

i guess it is just recognition thing. I am trying to get really high on the levels, but nobody votes me best answer. So i only get 2 points a pop.

Same reason you get points for playing those mind-numbing video games. If all you did was read and write no one under 25 would bother to participate because there's no 'reward.'

You don't get the point.

if i answer this question, i get 2 points.
And if you pick my answer as "Best Answer," you'll make me get 10 points instead of 2.
That's how it works!!
hope that helped

ur not the first person to ask this question.
we ask questions and we get answers.
someone asks a question and you answer it.
we get 2 points for each question that we answer.
we lose 5 points for each question that we ask.
we do this in our spare time and the more points we get, the more we want to go on this website.
just in case this didn't explain it, click the link.

Because people are stupid enough to think that points matter, and that keeps the suckers coming back for more.

I guess it is just a level thing. See how many you can get and how many are chosen best answers. It's all fun even if for nothing
