Q: What is a Top Contributor?
A Top Contributor is someone in the Answers community who, through their participation on Answers, has shown that they are knowledgeable in a particular category. Each Answers user can be a Top Contributor in up to three categories.
Q: How are Top Contributors determined?
The Top Contributor badge is dynamic, and you earn it by being an active participant who contributes quality answers in a particular category on Answers. Anyone can earn a Top Contributor badge as it does not depend on points or level.
Top Contributors are not permanent, which is to say you must continue to be an active answerer in order to retain a Top Contributor badge. Similarly, even if you are not a Top Contributor today, you can earn the badge by contributing high quality answers in any category or multiple categories of your choosing.
The more actively you contribute quality answers and best answers to a particular category, the more likely you will earn a badge for your contributions in that category. Just like featured users or category leaders, the badge is another way to honor and feature community members who are actively participating and knowledgeable in particular categories on Answers.
This is our first version of the Top Contributor badge, and we acknowledge that it is not perfected, yet. We will be continually improving the logic and heuristics used to choose Top Contributors in an effort to ensure that people who receive them are the most deserving. We’ve heard your feedback and we understand that there are concerns about abuse of this badge, and we will change the rules for Top Contributor as needed to combat gaming or abuse.
Q: I’m a Level 1-4, why am I considered a Top Contributor?
As mentioned before, an Answerer’s level or total points accrued in Answers don’t actually factor into consideration for Top Contributor status. If you are a Level 1-4 and have been selected as a Top Contributor, it is because you are actively providing quality content to a particular category.
Q: I’m a Level 4+, why am I not a Top Contributor?
Again, a user’s level is not the deciding factor for Top Contributor consideration. As mentioned before, Top Contributors fluctuate depending on your weekly participation habits in each category, so you may find yourself sporting an orange badge in the near future.
good question
you can't get one in P&S
your best answer percentage has to go over 15% in another category
Not sure, I've never heard of that.
No to get it, you have to have atleast a 10 percent best answer in polls and surveys. or any other category. but it can only be in ONE.
Who the f--k knows? i keep being a top contributor, then not, then yes again, then not, then yes, so i don't care anymore.
dunno
i think you have to have a high %age rate of best answers.

There is a screen in Y A that you can look at for these answers.
definitly... lots of stars, lots of answers....
anyway, we'll have to keep answering and hoping noone reports one of our lousy answers.
To tell the truth, it's about as big a mystery as traffic jams in L.A. No one really knows. I received mine in movies when I was a Level 2 (if I recall) without any warning or whatnot. I guess you just have to answer a lot and get a lot of best answers in a certain category to earn it. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Good luck earning one!!
