Well, it's pretty simple - they're aiming for Level 3, which you reach at 1,000 pts. It's possible because you can now answer and vote twice as many times as you could at Level 1.
Also, when answering, they are probably aiming for and receiving some "Best Answers" at 10 pts. each.
Here's the link. And a tip: Only ask something when you absolutely have to for awhile, or you cannot find it up top in the "Search for Questions" Bar. Many times, the question has already been answered up there, and you won't lose 5 pts. by asking it here.
Cheers. Here's the link to the Scoring and Levels System:

It'll help you out, so save it :)
Level 2 goes all the way from 200 - 1000 points.
If you click the 2 where it says Level 2 by your profile, it gives you a breakdown of the grading system.
you need to ANSWER questions to get to another level. Level 3 starts at like 1000 I think.
Asking tons of questions doesn't do anything except use up points.

They answer questions alot and get best answers. Heres is how you earn and lose points:
How you earn points.
--------------------------------------...
Answering a question + 2 points.
Choosing best answer for your question + 3 points.
Voting best answer + 1 point.
Being picked as best answer + 10 points plus 1 point for every thumbs up to a maximum of 50.
Logging in to yahoo answers each day + 1 point.
How you lose points.
--------------------------------------...
Ask a question - 5 points.
Receiving a violation - 10 points.
Deleting a answer - 2 points.
You get points by answering other people's questions (especially if you're picked as 'best answer') or by voting on questions, or by just checking the site eevry day.
You spend points by asking questions.
Basically, it's set up to "reward" people with points for answering questions... because although the site does need people to ask questions, it needs people to answer them even more.
nicely, its an complication-free good judgment. "with the intention to get some thing, you would be able to desire to renounce some thing." Imaging if each and every physique starts questioning such as you & in basic terms expects to ask questions & dont choose to respond to anyones questions then??? nicely you will discover questions throughout & no solutions in any respect. precise? so there you could ask questions once you have sufficient factors on your kitty & to earn factors you would be able to desire to respond to few questions too. extra over what's incorrect in giving solutions to people questions, surely its solid that your fixing problems with others or giving them effectual concepts. provide up being selfish & carry out a little social paintings to boot.
