    Try and get Best Answer.

    Don't ask lots of questions. If you do, pick a Best Answer (hint hint lol) because you get 3 of your points back.

    Try and write good answers to get BA, or pick questions with very few responses!

    Vote on resolved questions to get points, for yourself too for a shot at BA, if you remember which one your answer was.

    For you to earn more points

    you need to answer 20 questions a day 2 points

    but do so according to your level

    you can also vote for undecided questions 20 a day and 1 point each

    choose the best answer for your question you get 3 points after 4 hours

    if your answer is chosen as the best you will get 10 points

    1 point if the answer is also rated best ( up to 50 thumbs up )

    You have 94 points

    you need another 156 points

    then you can rate answers

    because this starts on level 2 at 250 - 999 points.

    You need a TOTAL of 250 points to reach Level 2. On the earlier levels, answer more and ask less. Be sure to pick quality questions so you can give accurate, informed answers. This will give a better chance of getting Best answer points (10). Be sure to choose a Best Answer for the questions you do ask. You get 3 points back for doing that. Click on the link below (or the points or level number next to your avatar). There's a table there that explains what you need to achieve each level, limits on various levels, and more.

    CHOOSING BEST ANSWER

    For your own questions:

    Once your question has been posted for at least 4 hours, you will see the blue "Choose as Best Answer" button by each answer. After 4 hours have elapsed, just go to your question, then to the answer you want to choose, and click on that button, and follow the steps. If you haven't gotten the answer you need, you can give it a few more days just in case you get more answers, and one that might be better.

    Voting Undecided Questions (Other members' questions):

    Go to any category or sub-category and click on the "Vote Undecided questions" tab. Then click on questions to vote, look over the answers and click "Vote as Best Answer". Your vote will be counted, but the answer you voted for won't necessarily get the most votes. Do not allow your own questions to go to voting as you will be no control over which answer gets the most Best Answer votes.

    I wouldn't make it cloudy and lengthy for you. The simple answer is:

    ANSWER MORE QUESTIONS.

    Select easy questions that you can answer well, and within a month you can reach level 5 w/o any problem.

    Remember to answer more questions.....some questions are so stupid that you don't even have to google it. It's like a piece of cake.

    Love answering these questions.

    Why don't you do something more productive with your life than asking stupid questions. This site is for off-duty cops and soccer moms.
