If you post on a question and get points for an answer, if that question is deleted do you lose the points?

Just curious and would like to know. :)

    No you do not lose your points if the question gets deleted. You get to keep all 2 points.

    This is from Yahoo's community guidelines

    Do I lose points when my question or answer is removed by the community?

    If your question was removed, you will not lose any points. If your answer was removed, you will lose 2 points.

    You do not lose the points, but your total answered questions goes down by one. Hope my answer was helpful?

  • No, you keep your points as long as your answer wasn't reported & deleted first.

    Not certain about that but if you have a best answer for someones question and their question gets deleted you lose the best answer in your stats.
