Why do they take away points now when you ask a question?
Yahoo answers used to give points for questions asked, now they are taking away 5 points for each question and I don't know why.
Isn't that like shooting yourself in the foot, so to speak? They rely on people asking questions, why punish us when when we do?

You can ask unlimited questions without losing points after crossing Level 4.
5 points are used up as question space charge on the site

They take away points to make it harder to get to Level 7 - the longer it takes, the more questions and answers we respond to. It's just to stretch the 'game' out.
