Top contributor questions?
Hey does Yahoo! Answers alert the user by email if he/she is picked as a top contributor, I'm just wondering because I came to my account today to answer more questions and then I see that I'm a top contributor, it is so cool, I don't know how I did it but it is there so do they tell you or do you have to find it out by yourself? Also, how do you become a top contributor on Yahoo! Answers?

You don't receive notice.
It's really no big deal. Yahoo has a secret complicated formula involving percentages and best answers to arrive at how someone receives the designation. There are lots of rumours as to what that percentage is but in fact, only YA knows for sure and they aren't telling. One Monday. the day when TC's are selected you log in and surprise you are a TC. The best way to earn it is to concentrate on answering in up to three categories where you might have some knowledge.polls ands survey sections don't offer the designation. If you don't keep your percentage up you can lose the designation.There are no special privileges. In reality having the designation can sometimes be a problem since there are trolls out there who constantly look for violations or perceived violations by TCs to report their posts.

no email is sent .they are given out on Mondays it is based on activity over several weeks if you are active answering in a certain category and if you receive a certain percentage of best answers for that category.then you will get one. the exact #'s needed are not made public and can vary by category. with busier categories needing higher numbers. in order to retain the badge. you must maintain the same activity level that earned it. congrats!!
