Does anyone else here not like the "Top Contributor" tag given by Yahoo?

I really don't care about anywhere else in Yahoo Answers, just here in the boxing section. In my opinion, Yahoo Answers should remove the "Top Contibutor" icon and the "Best Answerer" icon as well. I believe if anyone takes the time out to answer a question honestly and objectively it is the Best Answer. Is it really anyones business how many questions and answers someone has given?

    All I want to do is to be able to come on a forum and discuss the sport that I love.

    Yeah im not too keen on them as it can influence peoples votes when voting for best answer and the whole top contributer thing is a bit pretentious anyway. I didnt even have to get many best answers to get mine, it depends what catorgorys you write in and how popular they are. Also i think that you should be able to award points to more than one answerer on a question also. As many a time have i struggled to pick a best answer, as there have been a couple of answers that have been deserving of it.

    The TC badge is provided no longer in straight forward terms on the inspiration of the optimum kind of BAs.There might desire to be different parameters as properly that are actually not counseled or indicated to the purchasers.One advantageous morning you would be shocked which you have been provided the TC badge.And before you are able to bask interior the distinction of having been chosen because of the fact the TC,that's yanked leaving no longer in straight forward terms egg on your face yet with the main idiotic and stupid smile with you attempting to describe to acquaintances as to what got here approximately.have not you heard of the previous quote,to wit,"Inscrutable are the techniques of GOD"?which would be acceptable to the boys at Yahoo who sit down in judgment and picture that they are the Gods.those men dish out freely violation notices quoting community regulations that have now substitute into so archaic that they might additionally be termed as "PRUDISH".at the same time as I agree that even Askers deserve the TC tag,tell me certainly no count in case you're sorry which you haven't any longer been provided a TC badge.i'm specific which you mutually with your adventure and archives have contributed to Y ! A extra beneficial than maximum TC tag holders.I somewhat have had TC badges for 4 categories in my previous avatars.I somewhat have crossed all that time of preliminary thrill.Now all I focus is on giving crisp,even terse and exceptionally responses which replicate my good perspectives yet without rancor or enmity.the place achieveable i like to spice my solutions with a sprint of humor.extra beneficial than the tag,i grew to become into particularly gratified and proud while a shopper even went to the quantity of dubbing me "a popular-day Bernard Shaw".And while in comparison with that form of compliment 1000 TC badges might stand nowhere. popularity of ones abilities ought to come from fellow purchasers/friends rather than from a gaggle of characters who proclaim themselves as "understand-it-all".And that counts for no longer in straight forward terms something yet a great deal.those are what's going to swell ones heart with rightful satisfaction. Have a good Day.

    I agree. I think they should remove the identification tags of top contributor. I think that it sometimes influences the asker to think that the answer of the "top contributor" is the one he should go with. All answers that make sense are valid. Good point Mr. Santana D.

    top contributor only proves that we need a life other than answering. Best answer proves that we are BRILLIANT. The spell check here proves nothing as all

    uh fake modesty doesn't work.

    besides it's about as useful as the answers that are given by these people.

    it's yahoo answers.. a portal of complete uselessness.

    i wouldn't worry about it.

    nice try though, he he.
