Why did they make me a big contributor?

Now they took it away. I haven't done any thing wrong. What's wrong with people in Yahoo?

    'Big contributor' ... did you mean 'Top Contributor'?

    That's a designation which is determined by level of participation and percentage of Best Answers within a single category. If your participation and BA% is enough to satisfy whatever formula Yahoo! Answers applies to that category for the TC designation, you get the badge. For one week.

    The TC badges are awarded/withdrawn on Monday mornings. If your previous (several weeks', most likely) participation meets the criteria for TC in that section, you get the badge. If not, you lose it. It's not personal, so don't take it as a slight. It just means that your participation in that category did not meet the minimum required to retain the designation.

    Hard to say why anybody does anything. I'm not a huge yahoo person so I honestly don't know. Sorry I can't help but thanks for answering mine.
