Because they want to keep you informed.
BTW... That question also cost you 5 points.

Because these points are very important to SOME people. They have nothing to say but want those 2 points. They act like its the end of the world

Because some questions are pointless and some people wouldn't 'waste' 5 points asking a pointless question.

You don't NEED to lose 5.
If you pick your own Best Answer you get 3 back
And is 2 points really too much to ask for getting a question answered

I don't know, maybe they think we're morons who haven't figured it out for ourselves. Earlier I asked a question to see if anyone wanted to congratulate me for reaching level 4, and this party-pooper just HAD to say: "Asked a question now, 5 points off and back down to level 3". Does he think I'm stupid? Like I would ask a question straight after making level 4, without having enough points to spare...ARRGH. Sorry for writing you this minor essay, but it just frustrates me!

In case you forgot. Choosing a best answer will bring you 3 points.

What's the point of all these points....who cares - not as if there's a big reward for the person with the most :(

When you ask a question, it costs you 5 points.
When you answer a question, you're awarded 2 points.
Yahoo keeps the 3 point profit. So far, they've amassed billions of points, and their financial future has never been brighter.
To service community conscience, Yahoo also doles out a 10 point bonus to 'best answers'. Considering that some questions get 50 or more answers (250 point income), the expenditure for public relations is well spent.
Now you know.
