I just got Top Contributor in Etiquette?

Question

I just got a "Top Contributor" showing in my profile for the "Etiquette" section. What does this mean? And how many questions did you need to answer to achieve this?

Answer 1

Darling, it means that you've been spending a titch much time here. x

Congratulations.

Answer 2

Yahoo doesn't make the exact formulas public, and they appear to vary depending on how 'populous' a category is. Experienced users have concluded it's based on participation levels over the previous 3 weeks, defined as some combination of:

- number of answers in the category

- number of BAs in the category, and

- total points in the category, including votes, 'thumbs-up' and BAs

Answer 3

I'm not sure.  I just got "Top Contributor" for the entire Society and Culture section.  Wish I knew, but it really doesn't matter; I think it kinda neat, though.

Answer 4

I think it's when you best answer rating exceeds a certain percentage.  I notice that is a common trend with most top contributors; high % of best answers.
