Do you get your points refunded if nobody answers your question until it expires?

If absolutely nobody answers your question, yes, you get your points back when Yahoo deletes the question.

You also get the points back if the question goes into voting and the majority of the voters choose the "no best answer" option.

Questions have a 4-day open period. If your question doesn’t receive any answers within this time frame, it will expire and be deleted. However, before the question expires, you have the option to extend the time period a question is open. You can extend it one time by 4 more days to a total of 8 days.

To extend the open period for your question:

Go to the question, click Edit (pencil icon) in the action bar below the question, and select Extend Expiration from the option menu.

If nobody answers your question after 8 days and your question expires, you can try rewording your question and asking it again or search Yahoo! Answers to see if anyone else has received an answer to a similar question.

Questions that are removed without answers do not get points returned.You can extend the open time on your question but if there are no answers after 3 days there is not much use extending the time, and if no answers, the question will be removed after 4 days. If a question in voting gets voted no best answer you do get your points back

no once u ask the question you lose the 5 points you have to just make them up by voting, rating or asking sorry. You can earn a few back when u vote the best answer you earn some back but if no one answers you earn nothing back. However, you can keep extending the question until someone answers.

If no person solutions your question (no longer even a million person) then the question gets deleted immediately and you will receive those 5 factors decrease back. comparable as in case you probably did get solutions and none of them have been good and you had greater "No terrific answer" votes than the different - you in addition to mght get your factors decrease back in that subject. Cheers!

They automatically delete it with no points refunded.

sadly they will delete it so u get no points :( but never mind people may not like the title or your story is very long try to use a more attractive title and a story that is short and gets to the point.)

you get no points back and the question is deleted
