What does it take to be a top contributer?

How many points does it take to become a top contributer?

  • Answer:

    It's not about points, apparently -- some are lower level, some higher, some low Best Answer score, some higher. Me, they just pinned it there without warning! The Yamster himself answered this on another question: "A Top Contributor is an Answerer who has shown that they are knowledgeable in a particular category. You can be a top contributor in up to three categories. The better a user’s contributions are in any respective category, the more likely that user will become a Top Contributor for that category. Basically, we take an Answerer's overall contributions to Answers in each individual category, toss them into a hamster wheel, and the ones that manage to stay on the wheel become Top Contributers." That link is below -- I assume they will post a BLOG about it sooner or later. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ap1TfBLCuDGQES1y46ZvYF_ty6IX?qid=20070307190711AApikMP

The more you answer in a particular category, and the more Best Answers you get (not the percentage) the more likely you are to get a "top contributor" badge next to your name, up to 3 categories. Levels, and points have nothing to do with it. I have it for answering in Yahoo 360 and Yahoo Answers categories, neither of which am I on the leaderboard, but I have been answering alot of questions in these categories recently. I do lead the category DIY and I do not have "top contributor" for that category, but I haven't answered much in that one for a while.
