There is no point to it. I started out earning points and had a reputation as giving the Best Answer many times a day. Then Yahoo decided I was advertising. People report you for abuse and Yahoo arbitrarily takes their word for it and will not have anyone answer you, you do not get to state your side. So the good reputation you build with points, where voters say you have the Best Answer is basically a waste of time. This whole site is rather silly, as people are constantly reporting each other for this or that and your answer WILL be deleted.

They keep baiting us with the prospect that while we are earning points, it's still in development and we are the prototype people that will create the Yahoo Answers of the future. So until they figure out the Yahoo Answers of the future, we'll earn our points, test everything for them, firgure out how to either get along or piss each other off, and eventually that WILL be worth something

Not sure, I think it's sort of stupid. Maybe it's to encourage others to answer questions instead of just asking them. But I don't think the points have a purpose really.

Mostly it is a sense of accomplishment by helping as many people as possible.
