Someone told me that it was a glitch in the system and thats what info I've been passing on. But mine and many others have not come back up. Is it still a glitch or has YA changed the requirements?

"If you don't keep your quota you can lose it. Read it in the Answers Blog today."

The badges are dynamic, to quote the A-Team "Top Contributors are not permanent, which is to say you must continue to be an active answerer in order to retain a Top Contributor badge. Similarly, even if you are not a Top Contributor today, you can earn the badge by contributing high quality answers in any category or multiple categories of your choosing." You can read all about the badges here -

Also keep in mind it's also a brand new feature and they are still working out the exact formula to recognize quality over quantity, so there may be a few glitches here and there.

Sorry, I don't know. Someone mentioned that it might have something to do with the percentage of Best Answers received. Personally, I don't think it has anything to do with that. Klute200 has 17% best answers and does not have the orange badge. I've seen others at higher levels then Klute200, but at 10% or more best answers without the badge. It doesn't seem feasible to award the badge for percentage of best answers because if you answer a lot of questions, you will dilute your percentage down (your not going to get Best Answer every time you answer a question - let's be reasonable). If people are going to be penalized for answering a lot of question, then they will be reluctant to answer and YAHOO surely doesn't want that.

The rumor is that they now require 10% best answers for the badge.
