Do you lose points if you downvote or flag?

i just downvoted an answer, and found that my points were lower. i had same number of downvotes and NO flags, so i thought about this...

Yes, you lose 2 points for down voting things. You do not lose points for flagging. It is like this to prevent spam-downvoting.

Why? It's TWO FREAKING POINTS, that's nothing.

lol seriously, points aren't that important that you should care if you lost 2.

Chaitrak, two points aren't even that many! You can select BA and get those 2 points back -_-
