    It's only points. It's not like you are going to need them anytime soon...

    They USED to take five points for asking a question. Now it's zero. And you get 6 points for awarding best answer now. It used to be 5.

    It's not a big issue, you get 3 points for awarding Best Answer.

    No, that's why it's free to ask now, no points deducted.

    I agree, instead of points they should charge money per question.
