    The only way to get more than 2 points for each answer is getting your answer selected as best answer (10 points).

    You can earn an extra 1 point for each thumbs up on a best answer up to a maximum of 50. (thumbs up only count on a best answer).

  • *Points:

    1).Begin participating on Yahoo! Answers One Time: 100

    2).Ask a question -5

    3).Choose a best answer for your question 3

    4). If No Best Answer was selected by voters on your question, Points Returned: 5

    5).Answer a question 2

    6).Deleting an answer -2

    7).Log in to Yahoo! Answers Once daily: 1

    8).Vote for a best answer 1

    9).Vote for No best answer 0

    10).Have your answer selected as the best answer 10

    11).Receive a "thumbs-up" rating on a best answer that you wrote (up

    to 50 thumbs-up are counted) 1 per "thumbs-up"

    *Levels:

    *Level 1 = 1 - 249

    *Level 2 = 250 - 999

    *Level 3 = 1,000 - 2,499

    *Level 4 = 2,500 - 4,999

    *Level 5 = 5,000 - 9,999

    *Level 6 = 10,000 - 24,999

    *Level 7 = 25,000+
