Why am i losing best answers.?

Question

i had like 29 best answers in this category yesterday. today on my profile my total of best answers went up. but on the top answers list now counts me as having 22.

what happened?

Answer 1

I think Yahoo Answers has trouble with their database.  They will have the correct numbers of best answers one day.  The next day, they will have an old number.  For about a week, they had the top volleyball answerer as matlenny at 60.  Keep checking.  It could be right as soon as tomorrow.  Or the next day.

Edited later-You are back up to 32 best answers and #5 today.

Answer 2

Answer 4

I checked your profile, and verified that you should have more than 22 best answers "In Volleyball", my count was like 28-30 (did it twice, but was a little too late to count with old eyes :).

In the past, I actually reported to Y!A several times regarding their old data (when they threw me out of top 10), they could sometimes fix the problem in 12 hours, sometimes 36 hours. It doesn't matter that much as eventually they will get it right. They might have been doing this to push people like you and me to work harder and get our numbers up.

Having said that, I would have to admit that there is a ceiling that you and me would eventually have to realize. A member of the "board of directors" in Texas is always working hard at the top no matter whether he got pushed to No. 5 or No. 6 by the database.

Fair enough, it is not so difficult to stay in top 10 “in volleyball”, compared to other sports and other more "competitive" categories such as Math (by 2 seconds late I could be the number 5 posting my answer in math). Once you get into the list, the goal is no longer to get into top 10, but to give what you have back to the community.

So enjoy your games, have fun answering questions, and give a big smile when your best answers top 40, 50, and 200 (make sure you get there before Gordon does :)).

Ah, forgot answering your question. Why are you losing best answers... because they want to surprise you with a big bonus tomorrow, or tomorrow after tomorrow.

Answer 5

maybe cause you are so good that you would embarrass the other people on the chart.

Answer 6

Yeah...I think the Y!A database is messed up. One time, when I was definate I had 1,200 points, and on level 3, they put me as 649 on level 2 or something. I kinda panicked actually.

Answer 7
