Points and Levels
To encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take. The points table below summarizes the point values for different actions. 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.)

Yahoo will give you special "thank-yous" when you reach a certain number of points.

For the same reason they give points on the Drew Carey stand up comedy show.

Just a ploy to appeal to our competitive nature, that way they trap us into a never-ending quest for more meaningless points!
It sure works on me.

I don´t have a clue.
But I don´t do this for the points, just for fun, and because it´s interesting to read other people´s ideas and points of views.....
