Points for rating question and answers?
If we no longer get points for rating answer and questions, why am I wasting my time?

You still get points for voting for best answers, so you can do that. The point of Yahoo! Answers is not points but to gain knowledge. Also, by rating answers and questions, you can help improve the quality of the questions and answers.

During the first phase of the ratings rollout, we want to encourage people to rate questions and answers because they want to register their opinion, and not because it's a fast way to get to the next level. As you know, we listen to the community, so as we find out more how people use the ratings, we may change this in the future. Continue to tell us what you think about this issue.
