why do I get minus point everytime I ask question?

Thats the fun that keeps you tagged to Yahoo answers. If there is only positive marks, there is no challenge.

It takes 5 points to ask a question and when you answer a queston you get 2 points unless you get best answer and then you get 10 extra for each best answer, not counting the 2 you already got when you answered it. Good luck, best wishes.

You lose 5 points everytime you ask a question =]

It is equal for everyone. A minus 5 for questions aked.

It is just to motivate you from not asking so many questions to run all of your points down to zilch, and also makes it so you can't ask as many without giving some answers. Like a give and take kind of thing :D

Yahoo solutions will delete a level for each question you erase. to ask a question it is going to value you 5 factors...once you opt for a perfect answer you receives 2 factors back. Signing in prevalent to yahoo solutions is an automatic a million factor earned. and 2 factors are given once you answer a question. wish this hellps!!! god bless

everyone one loses 5 points for asking questions, you gain points by answering and voting

If points were not deducted then every one of us will ask questions only , no one will answer other questions .

You lose 5 for asking, including this one....darn it!
