WikiAnswers doesn't accept most punctuation because of the amount of alternates that could be created for the same question. For example, one question could be "What is (NH4)2SO4?" while another could be "What is NH43SO4?". This would cause hundreds of extra questions to be strewn across the site. Without punctuation marks there is less variation in the ways one question can be asked.
But because some punctuation is vital for the question structure, this policy may be changed in the future.

The parentheses are used in methods to specify arguments. Some methods don't use arguments; but it would in fact be more confusing, not less, to omit the parentheses in this case - because the parentheses give some kind of consistency.The parentheses also help make it clear when something written after a dot is a field, and when it is a method. For this reason, in languages that allow you to either write or not write the parentheses for methods without arguments, I would always write them, for clarity and consistency.The parentheses are used in methods to specify arguments.
