Deleted Question = Deleted Points?

If someone posts a question on Y! Answers, people answer it, and then THEY - not the community guideline folks - delete the question... Do the people who answer still get their points?

I'm asking because I swear to Mother Earth after two questions I answered were deleted, my points dropped.

ALSO! If an answer of mines is chosen for Best Answer and that question is deleted, do the points delete too? Just asking since we're already on that topic.

Thanks!

    if you answer it before it is deleted you still get to keep the points. maybe you lost points because of a violation notice check your email. and if you answer a question and you get picked as best answer you keep the 10 points you go but you have 1 less best answer showing on your activity.

  • No, they get the points taken away.
