Do you hate TOP CONTRIBUTORS?
I have been browsing the Answers, and saw that MOST (but not all) of the TOP CONTRIBUTORS have one-liner answers. Like, when they were asked "have you seen this movie, what do you think of it?" --they answer "I HAVENT." Or worse is, there is this question, then the TOP CONTRIBUTOR answered: "GOOGLE IT." I think it's unfair getting points for these "unhelpful" answers.

Yes, I hear you bro. As opposed to one of the answerers here, I believe that the "questioner" isn't Generalizing. He emphasized "but not all".. I just believed that most Top Contributors (and yeah but not all) are not giving good answers. I won't have to drop names but the ones I hate most is nico22, I've been encountering his/her answers on questions lately and Gawd, it's like "yes." or "yeah, you're right." etc. sheesh. I do not contest anyway the badges that some top contributors get, but there are just a lot who aren't getting what their worth.

No, I don't hate it. Something like this just doesn't inspire that much emotion. The Holocaust, terrorism, cruelty to a human being, cruelty to an animal. Those can inspire hatred. Even then, I try very hard to temper it. But top contributors? No.

That badge is almost a aim. i would not opt for one despite if this section had one. i like to experience like i'm on the comparable point as all people else right here and not above them. some human beings seem at their badge like it is going to furnish them some sort of particular privileges and exempt them from being stated while they deserve a contravention. No, i would be content textile to stay right here and badgeless between we peons.

I agree too. I don't hang out in just one particular category. It takes a long time to "climb to answers latter" and 95% of my answers are genuine experience and knowledge. (I think everyone at some time gives in to the desire to inject some sarcasm!) Why not give the title to those who have a certain percentage of best answers or starred questions?

but dislike:

(note, this doesnt mean ALL top contributors of course, just the one liners mentioned in the question)

I think cupnjaw meant cream of the crap. LOL. Don't get too bent out of shape over it. It says it will be changing all the time. The Yaholes (ooops, there goes my banner), are confused.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Seriously I rarely give one or two word answers unless the question calls for one. In your example if I hadn't seen the movie I wouldn't answer the question. I also don't tell people to Google because I assume most people know that and I think alot of people get a little kick or like the attention when people answer their question or they're looking to hear other people's thoughts and opinions.

Your question made me smile. You must have been in the
P & S category where there is a sea of orange... and they are very proud of themselves for giving answers like " No" or " IDK". Here's the topper.... then they all give themselves " thumbs up" for being so clever. What is clever about " Yes" or " No' or the dreaded " IDK" ??? YaHoo shot itself in the foot on this one. There are level 7 participants here without a badge, and most of them have full paragraph answers in many categories. Something is very wrong with this picture. Good question... here's a star, and I rarely give those.

I never give out one word answer. If I'm going to give a answer, I'm going to give a good answer the best way I can. :(

Right on. The good thing is they are a dime a dozen, nothing special.
