how do non entities get to be "top contributors" on Y!A?

Question

the title given by Y!A is getting to their head.

Answer 1

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.

Here's the link to the blog entry from the A-Team explaining, in a little more detail, "Top Contributors".

Answer 2

You have asked this quesiton in a very offensive fashion indeed! Y! has rewarded those that contribute on a regular basis, if you don't fall into that category but want to, you know what to do...get answering and answer properly without sarcasm

Answer 3

I don't normally answer questions in this section but came across yours. Also I am normally very polite but I agree with Barmy 100%. When we answer questions sometimes we get best answer, sometimes we don't. Sometimes we get thumbs up or thumbs down, depending on other people's viewpoints, but whatever the outcome the person who has picked the best answer feels that they have been helped in some way.
So as Barmy says "Why don't you try it yourself.

Answer 4

I was mainly in the sculpting and Yahoo help sections.
