    1) You lose 5 points when you ask a question (but you can get 3 points back for picking a Best Answer)!

    2) Check your e-mail to see if you got any Violation Notices because you lose points for Violation Notices.

    3) You lose 2 points for deleting an answer.

    You loose 5 points for each question you ask.

    You will get 3 points back when you pick the best answer you receive.

    That way it only costs you 2 points to ask a question. Neat Ah.

    You are either asking questions minue 5 points each or getting posts deleted minus 10-12 points each but you should get an e-mail about that. Once in a while there are glitches with points contact y_answrs_team@yahoo.com & they will fix it IF this is the cause.

    You LOSE 5 points for every question you ask. However, you can get 3 back for choosing a "best answer."

    You might also lose points for violations of the rules. If you have a quesiton or answer removed by Yahoo Answers, they dock you points.
