In the points system, what does "Rate the answer to a direct question you asked" mean?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

However, when you rate their answer, you will receive two points.
I hope this clarifies things. If you have more questions, just ask.
Thanks!
