Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Since when is it possible for a user to be Top contributor in FOUR categories?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqdtU...

Scroll down to the user name 'Redeemer' and mouse over his avatar, and sure enough, he's tops in 4 categories!

Did you know that's possible? Is this a typical Yahoo glitch?

Update:

Yahoo does specifically say that you can be top contributor in UP TO 3 categories.

Update 2:

And actually, when you click on this users profile, only 3 categories come up.

    I have seen it more (though rarely) since the multiple badges came back, two weeks ago or so.

    The only person I knew had four has lost his fourth since, so I am not sure whether it really is a glitch.

    If you go to the leader-board, global weekly, you will find one or two on the first couple of pages too.

    It's possible. Read his "About me" in his profile. His old points would not have carried over to his new profile but he would be knowledgeable enough to quickly answer enough questions and get Best Answers in four categories to earn Top Contributor badge.

  • I doubt it is a glitch.... maybe it is possible and perhaps he has equal merit in 2 of the 4 so they listed both.

    yes it probably is a glitch that has been going on for a while...it seems like when they update other stuff they create other glitches..such as in one category i had close to 1100 best answers and now it says i only have 849(sports) overall

    Wow, that's the first time I have ever saw that. The most I have saw someone have is 3 and I thought that was the limit.:)

    My guess would be that it means his #3 and #4 are close to a tie.
