This box appeared above the YAP questions with top ten answerers so I clicked on it:
http://au.answers.yahoo.com/dir/stars?sid=396545493
and the following appeared. I don't really understand what it all means.
What concerns me the most is the fact that known TROLLS/MASTER appear on that sheet i.e.
MICHELLE has Best Answers of 90%
FILAMUSA has Best Answers of 38%
IVANA FUKALOT has Best Answers of 21%

Nena even found another link for Asia Pacific. Talk about confusing.
Explorer you raise a very interesting point. I didn't consider this at all.
Strategic Manipulator what is it you are saying. I don't think I like your response.

That you're the top answerer to Y!AP from Australia, as ScarletRaven is, from the Philippines. Maybe Monday you'll be in the overall leaderboard, Big Chuck.
The other leaderboards outside USA (country code is first two letters after http://):
Canada
http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/dir/stars?sid=396545493
Singapore
http://sg.answers.yahoo.com/dir/stars?sid=396545493
United Kingdom
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/dir/stars?sid=396545493
Now I'm more confused since I think there are answerers in that list who are US-based.
ADDed to respond to Irog ni Migs:
Irog ni Migs: I think allan y, celestine and jan-na~♥~ are no longer in the Ph site because of their elevated status in the overall ranking.

Chuck, it seems the troll is in Austrailia.
Congrats for finding the lair.
If you remember, one troll would ask a question and the other troll would get best answer.
Since that leader board is based on best answers, they instantly become top contributors and people dont usually suspect a top contributor as being a troll.
I think you just cracked the code.
Oh, and by the way, Congrats on your #1 status on the leader board.
Oh, and to the person below me, its based on BEST answers not the number of answers. Also if you go to the profile and see what the TC badge is for, its for the most best answers in the Canada section and for Polls & Surveys for me
Dont be mad because I got a couple good answers last week in the Philippine travel section.
Its not a big deal.
have a nice day ;-)

Actually the leader boards confuse me... coz I honestly see two versions. One is the one you mentioned. the other one is this:
http://ph.answers.yahoo.com/dir/stars?sid=396545493
(Hey, is that *really* me?!)
Anyway, aren't those guys the ones who vote for themselves as best answers repeatedly? That's why they got so many best answers. That is the logical explanation at least.
Now for the ethical explanation... Ahh, I don't know. One of the proofs that life is unfair, I guess. :D

I guess if you have a yahoo account like abcde@yahoo.com without the ph at the end part, you are probably logged on to the international Y!A.. but with an account like abcde@yahoo.com.ph, you are logged on to the Phil Y!A...
Most probably, if you click Y!A Singapore and if you try to see the leaderboard for YAP, the names on the list are different....

For a while there, Sweetwater's explanation was beginning to make sense until I realized that in the Ph. site, why should ms. Scarlet - no offense, sweetie - be #1? As far as I know, both allan and celestine are Ph-based too. AND, isn't jan-na Ph. too?
I have no doubt, Papa Chuck, that in the Au. site, you are number 1...and I also recognize and acknowledge Windblown's rightful place there. I also know ShirleyG. As for the rest of the "beings" (the TCs, in particular) there, no comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MICHELLE ..... formerly known as EVELYN.
That was the bad side of YAP. perhaps they were people without a conscience who were pulling down good people from the top list.
I might also call them, sons and daughters of the devil for what they only do is to harm the good guys for their own benefit.
But I might also call them loosers, lame and useless. What they only do was to cheat.
We have to pity those people, because they can't do nothing good for other people. As Jesus said, love others just like you loved yourself. Perhaps they hate us, so perhaps they also hate themselves.
Poor Guys, what they are. I feel sorry for them.

try this
http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/stars?sid=396545493
which i believe should be closer to the truth than the many others, which is making me more confused as ever regarding points, tcs & leader boards.
i don't even realize that there are leaderboards for each country, thats how clueless i am really.

>>i see, thanks. well im as clueless as ill ever be.

It is confusing me, too. Where are Allan Y and Celestine now in the leaderboard? We all know what happened to Black Hat...
And yes, I saw the two versions. One is for Philippine users and the other for international users?
Maybe next week, we will be seeing all pink or pink wives?
