To encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take. While you can't use points to buy or redeem anything, they do allow everyone to recognize how active and helpful you've been. (And they give you another excuse to brag to your friends.)
There are charts detailling what points you gain for what here: http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system;_ylt=AgQL3lc0Vru48lZLNjo.Jknzy6IX

Perhaps if one halved the points gained ,it would go some way, not all because of best answers etc etc to how many people you may have in your visited time helped in one way or another.?

there is no real benefit as such, when you get to level 2 you can give thumbs up or down to questions, and then its just a matter of being able to ask and answer more questions.
thats all. There is no prize at the end

Nothing really..They just take you up to the next levels so you can ask/answer more questions.
