People use the points they earn in here
for asking questions they may be 5 points but the person who chooses the best answer after 4 hours earns 3 out of the 5 points
Otherwise people use their points to get ahead in the levels
Now you have 281 points so to get to level 3
you will need another 719 points to total 1000
by answering questions voting getting your answers to be chosen best are some examples of earning points.
The more points a person accumulates in here
the higher in the levels you go.
Yahoo Answers uses points to help them determine how active a participant is.
levels 1 - 4 are daily limits
so by the time a person gets to levels 5 six and seven
these are unlimited
a person can ask as many questions as they like
answering is also unlimited

It's basically a measure of how active you are. At the first couple of levels, more points unlock more features -- for example, once you get to level two you can rate other people's answers, which you can't do at level one.
