Just to clarify - you do NOT have points deducted for asking a question. When the Tips section was first introduced it used to cost 5 points to ask a question, but that was changed some time ago. Asking a question neither gains nor earns you any points. The only way you lose points now is to have your answer marked inappropriate. That will cost you 10 points.
Additionally, ASKING questions deducts 5 points from your total score; I see that you've asked quite a few already (smile). Its just something for fun...Kinda like street cred, if you will. As you notice that you also have rank with the points system. From first time tipper to lavish, the ranks increase every 4000 points earned. So by voting the best answer to a question (1 pt) to answering a question (5 pts) to even getting voted the 'best' answer (30), it adds up in the long run. Good luck, First-time Tipper!
You can earn points by answering questions (5 per 24 hours, until you move up the ranks), voting for "best answer" and logging into the site every 24 hours. The points system has just recently changed and now you can buy backgrounds or avatars with these points. Everything else you need to know is here http://www.playfirst.com/help.html?topic=points I hope this helps. Debz :)

Close Question?
Once you select a best answer, no one will be able to add new responses to your question. Are you sure this answer covers everything you want to know?
