You can validate your preferred answer by clicking the big tick on the left hand side of that answer.
When you create a question, you have the ability to add specific tags to quickly explain what a post is about via keywords.

We don’t believe people will be interested in public leaderboards or popularity contests. Therefore, your points are seen when by you only, in your profile.
If some of your points have been deducted, you received a ‘downvote’. Don’t let this discourage you though, as it just is a way to move more valuable answers higher in the list. If your answer was supposed to be a comment, please use the comment box next time.
