You get "rewarded" by being able to answer more questions as you go up in levels. I think they did not want everyone to have infinite answers, you have to "earn" more answers by being more active and helpful on the site.

its just knowledge u can gain and improve ur thinking and reasoning capacity..it just helps in widening ur horizons of thought..we dont get rewarded for answering ...its just that we get some points and we can increase our account quota to further have a chance of asking questions...its not for fun...i mean one should be serious while answering questions coz some good and sensible answers are expected from the viewers and questioner.

Our "prize" is that we get to answer an "unlimited" amount of questions. It is kind of stupid when you think about it..lol.
