To see how much your ratings of questions or answers is worth, look at your "My Profile" page. On the right side, you'll see a section that lists how much your votes are worth. When you first join the site, your positive votes are worth +1 point, and your negative votes are worth -1 point, but those will both go up as you earn more points on the site.
You could break the point records here last week! Why you didn't do it?

I'm 7,851 Maestro, and the number 7 is my utmost favorite. How can I keep this 7,... and prevent to be 8,...

Why are some people all hyped up over the 'points' on here? Am I missing out? Is there cash money for higher levels?

Have I single-handedly lowered the "Leaderboard" bar now that Bornabrit is gone? C'mon 40 answers?

I just joined and was wondering how the points and levels work, is there some place that explains how it works

Are the points we give directly related to our level? When I moved from expert to professor, my points value did not change.

If I understand correctly, I lose a point for each negative rating I have given? So, we're being punished in a way for being honest? That's pretty sad.

what levels do our abilities to give more points go up?
by Mangomat on February 3rd, 2008
Miss Laura: you're not the one being punished. The person who recieves your negative vote is instead, so don't worry!

This is somewhat confusing, so I want to make sure I have it straight. If I rate someone positive they receive one positive point from me because I'm level one and if I were to rate them negative they receive one negative point from me because I'm level one. On the other hand, if I were at a different level they would receive more or less points, right? Finally, the way I can get points is in my answering or asking, and I receive points the same way others earned them - one point for each rating or more for higher level people rating me?

Yeah but how would I know how much ratings I can give in higher levels ?
