so that you will come back later and want to answer more questions. if they let you answer all the questions you wanted then not many people stay on it as much. look on your My__Q&A it should tell you why some where on there

So they can spot the bots that just automatically log in to post 'Answers' that are really spam, With a limit they have 24 hours to track down the accounts, delete them and block the computers the bots run on.
I wish they'd do that on the games chat-rooms.

Yahoo is trying to prevent lawsuits from Carple Tunnel Syndrome sufferers, who would otherwise sue Yahoo for addicting them to Yahoo answers and causing the carple tunnel syndrome in the first place.

My only theory is it can keep people from answering every question regardless of whether they have any idea or not, maybe it's supposed to limit you to answering only questions you know about.

Yeah it does suck but if they didn't have it that way then people would be on here like forever you know and they would have a million points or something...yahoo has to regulate people.

My computer only limits me to five a day, and doesn't let me answer anymore.

Once you get high enough in levels you don't have a limit.

They want to make sure you get out and get some sun instead of staying on the computer all day.

to prevent spam.
and I don't know if it's intentional-- but to offer "freedom from constraint" as a deserved "reward". Which compels users to keep doing what they may mindlessly be driven to do.
