that because every time u ask a question, 5 points r taken away, every time u answer a question u get 2 points, every time ur answer gets chosen by the asker than u get 10 points and when u choose the best answer for one of ur resolved questiosn then u get 3 points

No. No. And again no. The rules are you get 5 points deducted for asking a question. They are right. You need to make up those points by more answering or voting for best answer in unresolved questions.
That is the reason there are so few challenging questions posted these days ... everyone seems to be addicted to their points!

You know what? I've been thinking the same thing... Every time I ASK a question, some little bumgoblin steals some of my points... BUT, when I ANSWER a question, Father Christmas gives me some back.
Might not work exactly like that, but I think it's a reasonable model to go on.

You gain 2 points when you answer a question and lose 5 points when you ask a question, you gain 3 points when you choose a best answer and gain 10 points when your answer is chosen as best.

Did you ask a question? Asking questions subtract five from your total. Answering them gives you 2 points a piece. Getting a best answer gives you 10.

the reason your points r doing this, is because you lose a point for each question u ask, and gain 1 point for answering other peoples questions, that's why

because you gain points by answering other questions and you lose points by asking. Hence the reason why i'm answering your question so i can gain points!!!

asking costs 5 points for the help and advice you get and you get points for an answer as your helping someone
