I already figure out that BA gives you 10 points, asking Q cost you -5 points.

For example, i answer a certain question and they choose it as BA. By that BA, I got 5 thumbs up & 2 thumbs down. So, how many points will i earn for it?

Will it be 10 + (TUs-TDs) = BA? or
Will it be 10 + TUs = BA?

A question costs you -5 points BUT if you pick BA you receive +3 points back.

Using your example the points received fo BA would be +15. You can receive upto +60 points for BA (10 for BA and 50 for TU's)
Once a BA has been picked any further TU's get ADDED to your tally upto a total of 50.
TD's have no effect on your score but an excessive amount of TD's does flag up with YAHOO and if you receive violations these TD's are also taken into consideration.
Level 1 people cannot give TU's or TD's and therefore cannot be blamed for any excesses.
Hope this was of assistance.

Congratulations for reaching level 5!

A best answer automatically garners you 10 points.
Thumbs down will not affect your points.
Thumbs up will be added to your points.
If your answer was chosen to be the best answer, you get points from the thumbs up both before and after the Best Answer title was given to you.

I didn't know you got points for thumbs ups and downs. As far as I know it's 10 for best answer. Looked into it, it's 1 point for thumbs up, up to 50 if you have best answer. Go to your profile and click onto your points it tells you there.

15 points.
10 pts (BA) + 5 pts (TU)
TD's are not counted, only TU's

BTW only TU's before being a BA will be counted. TU's after being picked as BA will not be counted anymore. :p

it's the 2nd equation --- 10 + TUs = BA

BTW, while asking costs you -5 pts, you actually earn back 3pts. once the BA for your question has been picked.
