lol, yeah they are just a system developed for people who have no lives to show off to people who mostly dont care!!! i mean, so that each individual and the community as a whole can track his/her participation in Yahoo! Answers.... they figure the more points, the more they answer and participate!

it is a carrot dangelling in front of your nose to entice you to go on until you become addicted
Many people are in need of answers ,and there are those who want to be angry or sad or who simply want to be part of something or find friends or colaborators ,they now have a venue to ask what ever they like ,in whatever way they like..this is attractive,
But society does not want people who ask too many questions and in a gentle way we are taught this.by a punishment of 5 points
However the emotion is fueled by the fact that the questions get answers ,and because there is a varied and complex mass of people out there ,the answers can be anything.
so it is interesting and the people keep asking.
this is adictive.
the people who answer
feel good because they are helping people ,and can say things ,that otherwise, no one might listen to.
they can vent their anger,give advise and be wise,be sarcastic,loving,hatefull also anything is possible .
and they contiually advance ,become more apreciated or hated,more famous or infamous because they get points
At every level ,they are promised that they are going to get a really special thank you and with every rise in level the thanking will be more and more special,
with more and more points .the empty carrot.forever dangling in front of ones nose
but somehow they buy it ,the hunger for fame becomes more intense and the exalted positions by points becomes sweeter,
they keep answering questions.like an adiction.
empty promises of imaginary rewards ,things being better all the time ,but hard to pin down
almost like religion.
so yahoo answers is comperable to a religious experience ,
the rewards coming most likely in the life after yahoo.
