Why does Yahoo!Answers have a limit on answers per day?
Grr, I just hit my limit of 20 answers today. I find it extremely annoying that I have to reach a higher level in order to answer more questions per day. I mean, I guess it's not really necessary for me to answer so many a day and I should probably just find something else to do. But I can't help but wonder, why does Yahoo feel it necessary to have these kinds of restrictions?

the limits are to allow for a learning curve & to thwart spammers.
Yahoo! Answers employee Jane said;
"These limits help new members get to know a bit more about Yahoo! Answers before they start just asking and answering like crazy. While it may seem really restrictive sometimes, it can also help new members realize what questions are worth more to answers rather than just answering a bunch of polls. If you aren't already, be sure to vote on undecided questions also. Not only will this help good answers be rewarded, but it will also help you progress to the next level more quickly."

Do your daily allocation of each. Doing this daily will see you on L2 in 2-3 days, and if you pick BA s for your questions you get 3 points back.
If you stick to that you will rapidly rise through the levels.

just imagine if there's no limit in answering. most questions would be left unanswered. if someone's restricted atleast there would be a chance that every question would be given enough attention.

I think it's because when people spam, they just make a new account and start spamming, but instead of spamming all day they only get 20 answers. I guess it's a way of 'earning' rights and privileges.

it is totally puzzling!!!!!! shop answering questions and vote casting your daily allotment. you would be in the "unfastened zone" very without postpone. i've got faith that they have got the shrink so each and everybody will attempt to get to be responsive to the positioning, artwork to their skill, answer questions and function a purpose to get to the subsequent point.
