how do people get to level 4 on this thing?

Question

it seems like it would take forever, or you would have to be a really big loser who has madeY!A their whole life... am i missing something?

wow interesting.. i didnt mean to call anyone a loser, its just hard to take in, i mean, id rather go to sleep. its not like there's a cash reward for getting to level 7, and once you have gotten that far, whats next? gloat? i just dont get it.. i mean this is very helpful if i have a question, but i just dont understand the whole competition behind getting to level 7.... oh and if i AM missing something, can someone clue me in? pretty please? i love you guys, you are my hero's. help me see the fally of my ways... (psst.. is fally a word? im so tired... lol im getting the late night retarded laugh thing)

Answer 1

if you want to go as far level 4
1. dont be mean on your answers or else the asker will stalk you
2. dont post rude question or else they will report you
3. be friendly sometimes there are those who favor friends in giving BA
4.answer as much as you can

i am not a loser btw, i love the friendship here, the jokes and drama on this forum..
i have my personal life too and i think im doin just fine..
cheers!

Answer 2

You make a pot of coffee. Then you stay up all night finding questions you can actually answer. Then you avoid asking a lot of questions because that costs points, unless somebody stars your question.
You can only answer (at level 3, one below the 4) 60 questions per day. So you have to find 60 questions where you can absolutely shine. If you do that you get at least 120 points per day.

If you are particularly witty and clever, and keep your average above 10% on Best Answer you get at least another 60 points per day. If you have a lot of friends who think you are clever, you get another 20 or so points just in Thumbs Up.

So, the daily ritual (best near dawn actually, and with a sleep deprivation going to match surfing the caffeine Buzzzzz.) and type your stubby little fingers off. meanwhile drinking lots of coffee and occasionally pulling yourself away from the keyboard so you don't develop socially unacceptable body odors from unnatural pottie habits. Bathe once a week whether you need to or not.

Maintain the Yahoo Answers discipine in this manner and you, too, can have a reputation for cleverness and thousands of points which cannot be spent anywhere.

Answer 3

I am on level 6, and I have been a member since August. I used to come on here for hours and answer questions, and very rarely do I ask questions. When I get bored, I come on Y/A. I try to give my honest opinion, and I figure if people don't like my answers, at least I tried.

Yes, I am a disabled woman, that lives alone, so maybe you would consider me a loser, but I have made a lot of friends on Y/A, and we e-mail each other daily.

I got lots of best answers for a while, now it happens occasionally, but that is because I don't spend as much time on here as I used to.

Y/A Big Loser

Answer 4

I'm at level 6- but I don't consider myself a loser, I've been doing this for about 6 months......and yes you're missing something

Answer 5

I have to make 300 points just to get to level 3!

Answer 6

Answer 7

Hey, I have been on Y Answers since October and I am on 7000 points-I only go on this thing in my spare time-I/m not one of those who live on it! You just gotta know how to answer questions in order to get best answer! The more best answers you get, the quicker your points go up! :-)

Answer 8

I'm trying to get to level 5...keep answering questions to earn more points & hope your answer gets picked as "best answer".

Answer 9

Gee, I am at level 6, so I must be an even bigger loser by your definition.

Answer 10

wouldn't have a clue its taking me ages to get to level 3
