    Having limits at the lower levels, and even the higher levels, helps to limit abuse. It also gives people a little time to learn the proper way to interact on the site. You can see that some people waste all of their answers with comments like "thanks for 2 pts" or "UR Stoopid" or "idk". If everyone could ask and answer more questions at the lower levels, then this junk would just overrun the system.

    That's why you earn more responsibility as you move up in points. The thought is that once you start contributing to the site on a consistent basis and have taken the time to move up in levels, then you are given more responsibility in the form of being able to ask and answer more questions.

    Once you get to level 5, then you've probably spent a lot of time on the site and know how to behave, so you have earned the right to answer an unlimited amount of questions.

    Also, there are probably some well-meaning people that just don't quite 'get it' during their early days on the site. They could unknowingly rack up enough violation notices for unintentionally bad behavior that their account would get suspended. The limit on points also reduces this likelihood.

    So, if you're done with your quota of answers for the day, then spend some time voting for some best answers on the questions that are unresolved, then spend some time rating best answers (thumbs up or down) on questions that are already resolved. If you answer AND vote AND rate as much as you're allowed everyday, then you'll make it to the next level more quickly and be able to answer more questions per day.
