    To be a Top Contributor you do not have to be on a certain level you just have to answer a lot of questions. You can receive it in three sections. You can go here and it will explain all about it. Hope this helps!!!

    The more you answer in a particular category, and the more Best Answers you get (not the percentage) the more likely you are to get a "top contributor" badge next to your name, up to 3 categories. Levels, and points have nothing to do with it. I have it for answering in Yahoo 360 and Yahoo Answers categories, neither of which am I on the leaderboard, but I have been answering alot of questions in these categories recently. I do lead the category DIY and I do not have "top contributor" for that category, but I haven't answered much in that one for a while.

    Here's the link to the latest blog entry from the A-Team explaining, in a little more detail, "Top Contributors".

    genuine Contributor badge is given for regularity of participation to a undeniable quantity. it incredibly is to motivate answerers to stay related to Y!A which Yahoo is doing for their very very own interest. I hate this technique of TC Badge which differentiates between the answerers. Many good answerers are answering in basic terms problematic questions and for this reason have not have been given any TC Badge, yet are lots greater advantageous of their solutions. Edit: comments on your comments: would desire to a instructor supply much less marks to an staggering student only because of the fact he already has the optimal marks interior the class ? would desire to a cricket umpire supply a batsman out lbw against a faux charm once you communicate approximately that having scored a century, he has sufficient runs ? In math and technology classification, BA is the splendid and easiest answer and is hassle-free to be certain. yet interior the style of questions you ask, BA isn't the single liked by ability of maximum readers, yet one that satisfies the asker and asker's prerogative has have been given to be respected.

    Well, you have to have a certain amount of best answers in comparison to the other top contributors in a given category in order to have the little box.

    You really don't want it, as it has become a target of Thumbs down trolls.

    Below is what I posted in the forum about it.

    PS I also have a "Worthless" TC Target attached to me, which the Trolls thumb down and vote against. And which you can get just for answering a bunch of questions. They DO NOT have to be good answers, JUST A LOT OF ANSWERS!!!!! If you could get away with NOT being reported you could answer "Thanks for the 2-points" and get an ORANGE TAG!

    THE ORANGE TAG IS A JOKE!!!!!

    I have recently almost stoped answering JUST so it will be removed!!!!!
