How do you get "Top Contributor"?

I've seen the Orange Top Contributor under the avatars of a lot of answerers. My question is, what are the requirements to obtain Top Contributor? I am really confused. Thank you all in advance.

Update:

Sorry, but I just wanted to add that I think it's pretty funny that everyone who's answered so far is a Top Contributor.

    You don't need to be confused as I will explain this for you.

    You get to be top contributor by answering alot of questions in one category. A person can aim up to 3 categories

    The choice or choices of categories for you is yours.

    You need to answer 45 - 50 questions in a 30 day period and it would take a month to 6 weeks.

    You need to have 10% or more of best answers from your category or categories.

    There is no magic level for becoming a top contributor this means any one from any level can become a top contributor.

    Once you get your top contributor badge you need to remain active in this community or it can be taken away from you.

    People become top contributors everyday so again there is no specified day for becoming a top contributor.

    Be polite when answering questions

    answers like yes, no, maybe, so what who cares, um are weak answers as well as not an answer

    The Yamster is the only person who know the actual requirements to become a Top Contributor.

    As far as we (Yahoo! Answers Community) know, you need to be active in a particular category. Rumors say answer 45 questions 30 days in that category and have a minimum of 10% of those answers chosen as the best. You will become a Top Contributor if you do all that and you will get the badge on a Monday morning. (PST).

    No one knows the exact formula but you must post a given number of answers in a category and have a percentage of best answers to get the TC badge.

    I've heard 45 questions in a category in 30 days and 10% Best Answers but I don't know that this is accurate. Only Yamster knows for sure ;) You can achieve TC in up to 3 categories.

    Lots of answers in the category, with a certain number of Best Answers for them (latest rumor says 45 answers in 30 days & 10% BA, but the exact formula is the Yamster's secret and changes from time to time!). The Yamster himself explains all about it at this blog:

    The Yankees performed the Royals The Royals beat the Yankees via a score of a million-0, the worst form of loss conceivable. *swears loudly* 2 The pitching grew to become into large, however the offense grew to become into quite poor. massive call: AJ Burnett for the Yankees, Bullington for the Royals Crap: i won't be in a position to %. one participant. probable the total Yankee offense BQ: I went to my first Yankee interest ever this 12 months at objective field. (i do no longer stay close to long island and that i'm no longer prosperous, so this is not ordinary to get to a Yankee interest those days) The Yankees gained 2 video games. the interest in the past grew to become into suspended after 5 innings, so I have been given to ascertain the top of that interest, plus the unique interest.
