In most cases, no you're not wrong. What I really find appalling is how many top contributors have their questions and answers private. What are they hiding? I actually try to answer thoughtful questions with a thoughtful answer. It may not be one the asker agrees with but I don't go off into tirades or fact-less answers with no basis in truth at all. My stuff isn't private and I have no "stalker" problem like so many complain they have. I get my fair share of violations, most of which I challenge with yahoo in writing. I doubt I have ever had more than a ten percent best answer rating. Maybe I need ten other identities like some on here. How does a person get over two thousand points a week? I don't know, but some do.

There are some TC's who troll. i understand quite a few in the hockey section that have distinctive debts and are vote casting themselves ultimate answer, and that i made it known that the guy is doing that. fairly, good contributors won't be given out to the real good contributors. All you could desire to do to get this dumb badge is answer 50 questions over a era of three weeks and have ten of those get ultimate answer.

My astute acquaintance, Locutus, is correct, I have no life. You should have pity on all of us rather than scorn us.
Seriously, I do not know how you get it, do not really care either, it is what it is, and relatively meaningless to most I know that have it. Now if the banner was in a more attractive color perhaps........
If you want one why not try to contribute, earn 1,000 points in a week in one category, do that for a few weeks and I bet you will get one.
You will not get one after having your account for only five days. Although you must be busy, you are averaging a whopping 70 points a day, but probably need to double your points.

Yes, you're wrong. No one gets a choice whether or not to receive the ugly orange band. Yahoo does it automatically, without asking the member. I had it, but Yahoo, for whatever reason took it away from me. Maybe I had answered too many questions in a different category, than what the orange band was for, politics. Or perhaps I asked too many questions, without answering as much as before. But the band means NOTHING. It is given to users merely as a tactic by Yahoo, to keep people excited, and using their forum, to manipulate said user, to make them feel good, and deceive individuals into thinking they've made some important contribution. It just isn't so. All the orange band means is that a user has answered an allotted amount of questions, to a high extent, and nothing to do with best answers, or even that their answers were wise, or even informative. I am rather glad, really, that the ugly orange band is gone from me. I found it to be insulting, for the lie it was, and is.

The way to become a top contributor is to answer and ask every day all day for about a week solid. When I was snowed in last winter I made top contributor. It is only achieved by not having a life outside Y/A.

Mine cost $125 and I bought it from my liberal friends as part of a plot to discredit conservatives. It was actually a chance thing. We were sitting around, finishing a baby we were eating and talking about how we were going to get the communists into power when Jack said, "Man, I hate America. Thank god I'm a top contributor!" From there I found out about the plot, and while we were discussing plans for emboldening the terrorists, it came in the mail. So -- in your face, Dubya lover!!! Up the establishment!!!

I think they use some sort of formula based on Level, percentage of Best Answers, and they must factor in the number of Questions and Answers which they have removed for Yahoo's idea of Abuse.
So, if you want to be a Top Contributor, then do NOT upset a Liberal, always agree with the poster's point of view, and DO NOT tell someone their post is stupid when it is stupid.
It would be easy to defeat. Just pair up with a friend and keep asking question and just choose each other's Answer as the best answer.

Sounds like a bit of envy on your part.
No one has any idea why those tags are given. They appear and disappear with no rhyme or reason.

I just woke up one morning and it was like, "Hey, what do you know..."
If Y!A wants to hang that moniker on me, who am I to dispute?

Unearned and unwanted. You get it by posting a lot and you can't display your avatar without it.
