    You become a Top Contributor by answering a lot of questions and get a high percentage of Best Answers in a particular category. While the exact formula for getting a TC badge is Y!A secret. it's a general belief that to get a TC badge you need to have at least 10% or more Best Answer overall first - then, IF you also have over 10% BA in a particular category, you will get a TC badge. Once you understand the concept - then you will understand that there is NO specific time you can become a TC. It all depends on percentage of BA in a category and NOT how many answers you give. You can also lose the TC badge if you have not contribute to Y!A for a while and/or your BA percentage goes below what is required to stay TC for that category. As Y!A Help page says "The top contributor badge is dynamic —you earn it or lose it depending on your recent participation in a particular category. The more actively you contribute, the more likely you will earn a badge. " Cheers

    Just answer as many questions as you can and you get one.

    Top contributor badges are certainly not attributed to quality but quantity.

    Although some people answer a lot and have lots of "quality" answers.

    One of the girls here made a hilarious comment.

    Top contributors focus on their subjects of interest, not typing. I gave you a thumbs up for being frank.

    sadly you can't have a top contributor badge thingy in P&S section, and im not sure why!! But to become one. Answer maximum questions in one particular category that your good and comfortable with. and your goal is to get a majority of best answers in that category..!!
