Why do you lose points for posting a question?

Filed Under mercialleasing.com |

  • Seems abit stupid as this whole website revolves around people asking questions.

    Isn't that like ebay telling you off for putting an item up for sale.


  • When you ask a question, you lose points. You pay for asking for knowledge.

    I believe...


  • If you didn't loose points when you asked a question, you would have no need to answer anybody else's questions.


  • It does cost 5 points to ask a question, but if you choose your best answer you get 3 points back.
    So asking a question can actually only cost 2 points.
    You do get 2 points for each question that you answer.

    Here is all the points on YA

  • The current point structure seems to maintain a good balance between questions and answers, which is why Yahoo does it. And in a sense, ebay DOES tell you off for listing an item - they charge you to post it, only their charges are real money.
