How to become a Top Contributor?
Are there no set rules for this? I've seen people on Level 6, with thousands of 'points' not have the title but then some people who have only joined a few weeks ago and answered 100 questions with it. I'm not dying to be one, just trying to understand who decides etc.

A Top Contributor is somebody who answers frequently in a particular category and achieves a minimum Best Answer percentage with those answers. There are no extra privileges in being a TC.
While the exact formula to earn a TC badge is a Yahoo! secret, it is known that in order to earn one you need to answer a minimum number of questions weekly in a particular category (perhaps 30+, and Polls & Surveys and Jokes & Riddles are not eligible categories) and get a minimum BA% on those answers (roughly 12%+), kept up for a few weeks in a row. Categories which are not very busy will require fewer answers to earn the badge than one that is popular.
Once a TC badge is earned, you will need to maintain the same minimum level of answering or you will lose your badge within 1-4 weeks (5 in rare cases).

A lot of best answers in one or more categories. Choose one or more categories you know a lot about and concentrate on them.
