    Questions asked 55. 55 x 5 = 275. Yes, you`ll see something happening alright. Now you`ll have to offset it so you don`t notice it as much. Answer questions and get best answer. Also vote.

    If you want to get to level 2 you need to stop asking questions. Each time you ask a question it lowers it by 5 points. When you answer a question that is only 2 points. When you can select your best answer it will give you 3 points. That is why it goes up and down.

    Answer question = 2 points given

    Ask question = 5 points deducted

    vote for best answer = 1 point

    delete a answer = -2 points

    get a violation = -12 points

    When I ask a question i lose 4 marks. So I think that this is because u ask a lot. Best way is to check it in yahoo.

    Read about what the point system means, but clicking on the Level you are currently on, where you see your name and point total on the main screen

    Stop asking so many questions. Points are deducted for each question. Also, when you do ask a question, make it worthwhile if you are wanting to level up.

    points are kinda like money.

    You earn points (money) by: answering questions, rating answers, being voted as best answer, choosing best answers, etc.

    You spend points (money) by asking questions.

    So every time you ask a question, you lose points, thus the reason for your points to keep going up & down.

    I'm sorry your points don't seem to be going anywhere. I'll give you best answer and see if that helps :)
