Only the person chosen as "best answer" gets 1 point for each "thumbs up" that they received. No one else gets any ponts for "thumbs up."
However, they continue to get that bonus point for every thumbs up that they receive even AFTER they've already been chosen as best answer.
Best answer gets a maximum of 50 bonus points for "thumbs up."
Kilava,
You do get points for thumbs up but it takes more than 3 to get one point. First of all, you are at level 1 with 190 points
and you need 60 more points for level 2. There are no points for thumbs down.
This system you are asking about is called rating. Once you are on level 2 you will be able to rate answers thumbs up or thumbs down because those thumbs will activate then.
Just a word of caution once a decision is made you can't reverse it. Just answer more questions, vote which is not the same as rating.
Yes, you do get points, but only when you are chosen as best answer. If your answer is selected as best answer along with a thumb up, you gain an extra point. You earn 1 point for each thump up. However, if you receive 30 thumps up when your answer is selected as best answer, you earn 40 points, 10pts for best answer , and 30pts for 30 thump ups.
UPDATE.............Thumbs down do not count in this case.
