I HAVE BEEN GARLANDED WiTH?

Question

the great honour of TOP CONTRIBUTOR, I am gratified and accept with great humility but would like to know what exactly I have done to deserve this acknowledgment and how one retains it, as I have had one taken away, after its award before. I would be grateful for explanation how it all works.

Answer 1

From Yahoo Answers Help:

A Top Contributor is a member of the Answers community who has shown that they are knowledgeable in a particular category. Each Answers user can be a top contributor in up to three categories.

The top contributor badge is dynamic —you earn it or lose it depending on your recent participation in a particular category. The more actively you contribute, the more likely you will earn a badge. Just like featured users or category leaders, it's another way to feature community members who might otherwise be overlooked.

Answer 2

Dude,

I think they will take it from you again because you don't have thousands of points like other top contributers do.  So I wouldn't break out the champagne just yet!

Answer 3

I am very happy for you my friend. I would like that award, but alas I've only really just started on here. Looking at your profile, you have 44 best answers out of 304. That looks like a very good start.

Whatever you're doing - just keep it up and I think you'll be a high flyer.

Well done, and much respect.
