Get 250 pts. and you'll be on level 2. Then you can "rate" questions with "thumbs up" and "thumbs down."
Answer a question and get 2 pts. Ask a question and lose 5. Choose the "best answer" to your question and get 3 of those 5 back.
Be chosen as "best answer" and get 10 pts. plus 1 bonus pt. for each "thumbs up" your answer received.
Vote for "best answer" on unresolved questions where the asker was too lazy to choose "best answer" and you get 1 pt. per question. You also get 1 pt. every day for just logging in. It’s as easy as that!
Good luck, you'll be on level 2 in no time and then aim for level 3 (1,000 to 2,499 pts.)

You need to be at level 2 to able to give a thumbs up or down. I think you need at least 180 points to get to level 2(250 points). :)

If you are on level 2, you CAN'T. You must be on level 2 or over. Level 2=250-999 points. Point System: http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system.php
