what will happen?
inorder not to loose points, no one asks any questions, so what is there to answer in here?
it is not right for the asker to loose points by questioning/asking, becuase he is the one who actually keeps the place alive. What will happen if every one wants to save 5 points, and therefor won't ask any questions?

You receive three points back when you select the best answer to your question. The other two points can be earned back by answering just one question or voting on two undecided questions. To many users, getting answers to a question is well worth the two points, but this also encourages some users to search our database and find answers in previously-asked questions.

If we choose the best answers to our questions, we gain three points for doing so, making it a net loss of 2 points. You only loose points if you fail to choose the best answer to your questions.
