★Roshni★ asked in SportsCricket · 1 decade ago

I am a bit confused about the "Top Cricket Answerer"...Can anybody explain this to me?

I know this is stupidest question but you see one can be confused and get curious about any thing.....No?? well sometimes it shows 'A.R.Raja' as a top answerer and sometimes 'vakayil k'..this is not about the yahoo location as i only join Yahoo US..and secondly the numbers of the best answers by vakayil k are shown different when displayed as a top answerer......May be vakayil bhai could throw some Roshni on it ;) !!

And i don't know why i got curious about this..lol.......... My Apology Please !

Update:

keep trying........the world isrevolving now ..oh no ..its actualy my brain that is spinning......lol, promise you have made me even MORE confused !i better not read your asnwer again especialy when i am fasting..;) !! umm yes i am missing my family very very badly... !ty for the concern !and yes i had noticed that i forgot to place "THE" in my details.but it was too late !

Update 2:

oh so i am not the only one who is dying with curiosity :P..Monti , good luck for that, you are right, Vakayil bhai is the deserving one even if he has less number of BA than others..! fairly i missed to see you on the top..and wow, you kept yourself from "asking" something..its a surprise ..lol, Shariq brother, i wish i were that expert in using computor, the only thing that i am good in is clicking the "answers" on yahoo page ;) ty for the guid !

    I also have been noticing this in betrween. Not only in cricket section, but also in other sections of Yahoo Answer this discrepancy takes place. I think it has something to do with some flaw in the site. I never bother about the same answerer

    comparable element occurs in my domicile. My father's cricket loopy. on a similar time as quickly as I certainly have tests/tests my father shall we me look ahead to a speedy at a similar time as. on the different hand my mom purely is familiar with Sachin Tendulkar. She watches cricket sometimes yet gets aggravated while her popular television shows can not be teach because of the cricket.

    like an answerer above pointed out - this is happening in other sections too. I saw the same erratic behaviour in RAMADAN section too.

    The problem - though best known to YAHOO - can be:

    1- Problems at Yahoo! Answers database. Though rare, they cant be exempted as a possible culprit.

    2- Maybe they both are close together on best answers and are havin a tough competiton!

    3- Cookies.

    Though Valayakil is in the 7th level he has less best answers than Raja, & thats why Raja is on the Top so since Raja is not using Y!A now If Valayakil gets 2-3 best answers a day he will come to the top again & if he doesnt gets any best answer a day then he will go back to the second spot...

    I think this is whats hapening there...

    Its bc, I think ArRaja is the the same as VAkalj.

    Why would you want to see Ar.raja answering you with picture where, vak same guy can ans. without picture. I also think there the creators or yahoo cricket. Sounds silly but, I only think & there the ssame people. For example I'm Agent Mowgli but, I'm agent 3000 another user for cricketv yahoo.

    Source(s): Agent 3000

    i was flabberghasted one day when had logged on ...

    Mr. Karikalan wished congrats to me being topmost answrer..

    me?how come...

    ( everybody in particular country hate me...lol)...

    so i rang up to tell my surprise to my cousin ..(smarny)

    who happens to be.......

    Lankan supporter who lives in Alberta ..its long way from

    Ontario province,

    and one day i saw my name appear as such....later on..

    i saw

    sometimes Mr. Vakail becomes first

    sometimes Mr.Raja ...becomes first

    sometimes nalakafairly becomes first

    and sometimes,....karikalan and me never in the list

    altogether....how come?

    i wish Montitude can find the answer....

    coz he has all the time in the world to answer non-stop...

    and Roshni,...you are not at all extra curious....

    i have been all da while....

    but i did not dare ask this question....

    coz some guys would "BOO"

    It sometimes show like that because they often vary.Suppose think that i have got 123 best answers in cricket and you have got 124 you will be top cricket answerer.If again i got more than 2 best answers in cricket then i will become the top cricket answerer.

    Lol, same here.

    I noticed it long time ago. That man 'A.R.Raja' hasn't been here for a long time. He was the top answerer for a long time.

    But now 'Vakayil Bhai' is the top answerer.

    I think there is some problem with the update system of yahoo answers.

    One day i saw 'Nalaka' as the top answerer,lol

    And they haven't included my name in the top 10. What the hell is it?

    We need answers from Yahoo answers,lol

    I am going to write to the yahoo staff about this whole situation.

    This is very careless stuff from the staff of yahoo answers.

    I must tell this to 'Mr.Hamster'

    May be it is related to the domain,jumbling of domains.

    Sometimes data reflecting the answers to the questions(US in your case) in a particular domain only and at other times the data in respect of all English questions.
