After a time period, the asker gets to rate the best answer which earns the answerer 10 points so 'real answers' can be more rewarding. The reason all answers earn 'something' is to encourage people to use the system for the advantage to others and not just use it to ask questions when they need help.
P2P networks that share music and so forth are often on a similar system where you get more 'system resources' for downloading the more files you share.
These systems are trying to encourage activity based on giving AND receiving.

I would rather have a real answer to my question, or if not an answer, different points of view, I enjoy other peoples opinions. What makes me mad is when I post a serious question, I expect an answer, not an insult. I don't no why people are obsessed with points you don't get anything when you get to the next level, so I don't see the point, pardon the pun.

the biggest income is which you will answer greater questions and so get greater factors! of direction I have not have been given any concept what to do with all those factors, and that i'm at 6th point. I actually are transforming into a Yahoo solutions decal, and the means to apply their very own wallpaper (enormous whoop). Yahoo promised to offer it somewhat is clientele an answer at each and every point, yet they have not been to solid approximately that. I did get a very good espresso cup, a minimum of i think of that's superb, yet i do no longer drink espresso. in line with possibility it's going to make a very good sound if I throw it off a balcony, and sometime i could even verify it out. One income that human beings have been meant to get replaced into to be listed contained in the masthead (the information on the marvelous of the default My Yahoo web site). even nevertheless, I even have seen human beings get it and in the event that they tried to characteristic each and every of the solutions they could no longer, no longer whether they only enable point sixers have their solutions featured. they have used the Masthead to pose questions from celebrities like Steven Hawking and Cindy Crawford, yet Yahoo does not try this very generally. the biggest ingredient approximately this board is which you will get bragging rights. of direction i'm the only individual who i be conscious of who solutions questions or perhaps is known with approximately Yahoo solutions so i've got not got a lot of human beings to gloat to (Oh, verify out me I actually have a 32% maximum suitable answer fee...do you somewhat care) I even have observed one income. I even are transforming into an encyclopedia of wisdom. did you be conscious of that a blue moon in hassle-free terms happens as quickly as a year, and that the moon does not turn blue, fairly that's a month with 2 finished moons in it (do you care)? nicely i presumed it replaced into exciting sufficient to undergo in strategies. i'm able to spout much greater ineffective wisdom because I even have been working in this board.

To get a lot of points fast: Answer slowly, answer well, answer as the best. For every 2 points you put in, you get another 10 if you put time and effort into it.
Just like in life there are going to be people who just goof around to make it to the next level. They kiss butts and make it happen. Then there are those of us who work truly hard and strive to do our best to succeed.

There are so many stupid questions on here, or people who don't even ask a question, just babble random stuff, that I just go for points.
P.S., I think that this is one of the rare good questions.

I would rather give and receive a real answer. I don't bother if I don't know the answer to their question.

They like to keep you answering ...even if it's a dumb answer.
You are using their site, and when you use it, you talk about it to your friends, and they start using it, pretty soon the whole world is on yahoo!!!!
