Can you LOSE 'top contributor' status, in Answers?

my proposal to answer more in yahoo and answer but regards in technical problem.

that is why I lose"top contributor" status

Yes, you can. TC badges are fluid - - they come & go based on your recent activity.

According to Y!A : "A "Top Contributor" is a member of the Yahoo Answers community who has shown that they are knowledgeable in a certain category. Each user can be a top contributor in a maximum three categories. You earn it or lose it depending on your recent participation in a certain section. The more positively you contribute, the more chance there is that you will get a TC badge. Just like featured users or category leaders, it's another way to give credit to community members."

Y!A has never said what the precise requirements are. It's commonly accepted that you need to answer a lot of questions (50?, 100?, who knows...) in a category and get Best Answers on a certain percent of them (probably 10-15%) each week.

You can have TC badges in up to 3 categories at a time. There is no TC badge for the Jokes & Riddles and Polls & Surveys categories.

TC badges are based on your recent activity, not your level or total points, how long you've been here or your overall BA %.

:o)

You have to maintain that balance of Best Answers to total answers in the category you had your TC badge in to keep the Top Contributor badge once you get it. The exact formula isn't publicized, but it's rumored we need to answer approx. 50 questions in the one category within a week, and of those answers, get 10% best answers. You probably fell below that requirement.

You must keep up the activity in the category. The exact qualifications are secret but the guess is around 40-50 answers a month with at least 10% best answers IN THE CATEGORY.
