Answer 3

If you don't go on for some time, you will lose the status.  I have that done to me several times.  Mostly when I, either, don't come on for a couple of weeks or if I do come on, I don't answer as many questions as I want.  Don't worry, just keep going at it and you will get it back in no time.  Also, I really don't care if I am a top contributor or not.  I'm just in it to help others.  Whether I am a top contributor or not, I will still help when I can.

Answer 5

Nobody but the Yamster (Yahoo! Answers mascot) knows how to become a Top Contributor and he has no plans on telling us his secret. But we have managed to gather what we think to be the formula to gain an orange badge.

First off, you need to select one category. One specific category you are knowledgeable in. Don't concentrate on for example Computers & Internet. You need to select a more specific category like "Security" or "Software". If you choose "Internet" pick a sub-category like "Flickr" or "Google".

Once you have chosen a specific category, you can start answering in that category. Answer the questions you know the answer to. This will increase the chances of your answer being chosen as the best. When answering questions, answer with a long, well-thought out answer. Be as clear as possible too. This will make the asker have an urge to choose you as the best.

Keep answering questions in your chosen category. You need to gain about 200+ points a week from that one specific category. This includes answers and best answers.

You will require a minimum of 10% of your answers to be chosen as the best. That is why it is important to be as clear, and have well-thought out answers - to increase the odds of being chosen as the best.

The Top Contributor badges are awarded to users on Monday mornings (Pacific Time). If you didn't get the badge, don't worry, continue to do what you did and you should get it the next week. If you did receive the badge, remember to stay active in the category and maintain a best answer percentage of more than 10%.

NOTE: The Top Contributor Badge is NOT awarded in the Polls & Surveys category or the Jokes & Riddles category.
