  • Answer:

    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 day 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. 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. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/answers/network/contributor.html

To be a T/C Answer in the categories you know the most about and get best answers. The more you answer and get chosen as best answer, the better chance there is that you will get a T/C badge. There are no special privileges that go along with it and it does not make someone an expert in that category. T/C badges show up on your profile on monday's. It is rumored that you need at least 10 percent best answers in your chosen category / 200 or more total points per week /30-50 answers per week in a single category to get a T/C badge but the actual percentage and the number of answers is Yahoo's secret. The T/C badge is awarded on the number of questions answered and best answers received by the user in a 3 week time frame, in a particular category. It is dynamic so you earn it or lose it depending on your recent participation in a certain section. Each user can be a top contributor in up to three categories. There are no top contributors in polls and surveys or jokes and riddles.
