Why not asker points and level in yahoo answer?

I observe and found that there are always lot of inappropriate question published in yahoo answer. Which I think no proper use. To be sincere in asking a question there is the need to educate asker by yahoo answer team.

Secondly, most of the asker do not select the best answer even after 4 days. This causes the question homeless and the effort of people who answering the question become meaningless, and the process of voting started. But as the point of voting is 1 many people do not like to invest their time in voting. In sense it decreases the value of yahoo answer. So I think there is a need to develop a system by yahoo not to allow such asker if they do not choose their best answer in time or if pending.

Third is there should be a provision of points to best asker and a level of asker which is going on for answering. I think this process will improve the yahoo answer and will help to attract more and more people.

Fourth is the question should be in short form, a minimum space for a question to be allow so that the asker give effort to ask a question carefully.

So, is there any need to allow a provision of points and level for asker by the yahoo answer team?

    I like where you're going with this but the way yahoo answers is set up is to encourage, and reward people who answer questions. Anyone who answers a question is given points. The best answer going and selection is designed to further reward the person who provides a good, relevant and complete answer. This system ofrewards is intended to encourage good answers. Asking questions costs points so that people aren't slamming questions all day long. There's actually a reason not to ask dumb questions, because it costs you points. That way yahoo hopes that only important or meaningful questions are asked, and even if dumb questions come up, they wont take over yahoo answers.
