What is the point of getting points in yahoo answers?

To encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take. The points table below summarizes the point values for different actions. While you can't use points to buy or redeem anything, they do allow everyone to recognize how active and helpful you've been. (And they give you another excuse to brag to your friends.)

And on Valentines Day, the Yamster cupid brings you a perfect mate.

And in the spring, the magic Easter Yamster brings you a special surprise.

And you get to go to Disney World for the big Yahoo! Fourth of July Blowout.
