"A "Top Contributor" is a member of the Yahoo Answers community who has shown that they are knowledgeable in a certain category. Each user can be a top contributor in a maximum three categories.
You earn it or lose it depending on your recent participation in a certain section.
The more positively you contribute, the more chance there is that you will get a TC badge. Just like featured users or category leaders, it's another way to give credit to community members."
The TC badge is awarded on the number of questions answered and best answers received by the user in a particular week, in a particular category. The Next Hurrah: Contributor--DemFromCT:: David H.
