You gain points when you answer questions and when your answers are chosen as the best.

You lose points when you post a question or when you delete an answer. Click on your points and it will redirect you to an explaination page.

click on your points. It will show you two charts. The first will show you how many points you can gain or lose for different things. the second shows you how many points you need to get to the next level.
