Get 250 pts. and you'll be on level 2. Then you can "rate" answers with "thumbs up" and "thumbs down." Just click on the “thumbs up” icon to give someone a “thumbs up” and show you approve of or like their answer; same but reverse meaning with “thumbs down,” click on the icon to show you disapprove or don’t like the answer.. It doesn’t cost you any points to “rate” an answer but, once you do rate, you’re stuck with that rating. You can’t later change your mind and decide they don’t deserve the “thumbs up” or have regrets about giving a “thumbs down.” They’re forever.
Stars are ways to show approval for questions. You click on the star icon to give a star, click on the same place to remove your star after you give it. No points involved..
Answer a question and get 2 pts. Ask a question and lose 5 pts. Choose the "best answer" to your question and get 3 of those 5 pts. back. Be chosen as "best answer" and get 10 pts. plus 1 bonus pt. for each "thumbs up" your answer received. There’s no deduction for “thumbs down.”
Anyone, even people on level 1, can "vote" but it's not the same as "rating" with thumbs up/down.
Vote for "best answer" on unresolved questions “in voting” and you get 1 pt. per question. You can vote by clicking on the “answer” toolbar at the top of the page then click on the “vote” tab or, when you see the list of questions available in a particular category, there’s a “vote” tab at the top of the questions. Either way, if you vote then you earn a point per question and help pick the “best answer.”
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 on 250 points to be able to rate. Try to vote on undecided questions, your limit is currently 20. You get a point every time you vote. Try to give answer questions to the best of your ability so the best answers will help, you.

If you give a person a thumbs up it means that you like and agree with that answer
If you give a thumbs down towards an answer it means you dislike the answer
Thumbs up and down don't take away any points. But if you get a best answer you get a point for every thumbs up that you get. (up to 50 are counted) so you can recieve up to 62 points for a best answer. Ratings are permenant so be careful that you don't click on the wrong thumb by accident.
I hope that helped!
