    There are no points subtracted for thumbs downs on answers. The only thumbs up points users receive are when their answer is chosen as the best answer.

    Loosing factors. each time you ask a query you will loose 5 factors. once you %. the terrific answer you receive 3 factors returned. That way it in basic terms expenditures you 2 factors to invite a query. in case you permit it circulate into vote casting you will no longer get the three factors.

    There isn't a worst answer choice. If so, many people would be in the negatives.
