Points and Levels

To encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take. The points table below summarizes the point values for different actions. While you can't use points to buy or redeem anything, they do allow everyone to recognize how active and helpful you've been. (And they give you another excuse to brag to your friends.)

Levels

Levels are another way to keep track of how active you (and others) have been. The more points you accumulate, the higher your level. Yahoo! Answers recognizes your level achievements with our special brand of thank you's!

And finally, as you attain higher levels, you'll also be able to contribute more to Yahoo! Answers - you can ask, answer, vote and rate more frequently.

*All limitations are per day

Level 2 starts at 250 points - you have 251.

Your nect goal is level three --> 1,000 points.

All levels can pick a best answer to questions they ask and can vote for best answer on others' undecided questions. Once you hit level 2 & get the ability to 'rate', the only difference in the levels is the daily limits on questions, answers, comments, votes, etc.

Levels 2 and up can 'rate' the answers of other Y!A users. Rating = giving Thumbs Up & Down to express your opinion of other peoples' answers. No points are involved (unless a best answer has TUs, then they get 1 point for each TU up to 50) in rating, and thumbs do not determine the Best Answer selection.

Hints:

answer your limit of questions each day (2 points each)

get an answer selected as best answer (10 points each)

pick a best answer for your question (3 points)

vote your limit of unresolved questions each day (1 point each)

you also get a point a day for signing in

each question costs 5 points, so ask sparingly

You need a total of 250 points to get to the next level, Level 2.

You have a total of 204 points, you need another 46 points to get there.

You can select best answer for your own questions and vote for answers to undecided questions at Level 1, even your own, but you need to be on Level 2 to rate answers (thumb up /down).

The best way to gain points is to answer and vote to your limit each day, whatever level you are on.

Visit each day - 1 point

Answer to your limit each day - 2 points each answer - 20 questions - 40 points

Hope for some best answers - 10 points each best answer plus 1 point for every thumbs up (maximum 50 points)

Vote to your limit each day - 1 point each vote - 20 votes - 20 points

If you ask a question, -5 points, pick a best answer, you get 3 points back.
