I notice that some people get rated as top contributors but their answers are rubbish compared to some others, why is this and who picks them out?

Hello, lennox
Well, they select them if they qualify as a Top Contributor. To have a TC badge: They have more than 10% of your best answers percentage on any category (Up to 3) EXCEPT Polls & Surveys and also Jokes & Riddles (Since all the questions on those categories are random and don’t require a lot of information) and maintain 200 or more points a week (Total combination of active contribution and best answers). They also have receive over 20 or more best answers on a category each week. Best wishes and Hope it helps.

You need to pick a category that you know something about, so that you can give good answers to the questions.
Answer as many questions as you can and hope to get some “best answers”.
Yahoo must use some sort of rolling score because it takes about 2 weeks to get a TC badge.
The official criteria,
“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.”
It is rumoured that you need at least a 10 percent best answers in your chosen category to get a TC badge although the actual percentage and the number of answers is Yahoo’s secret.
If you have contributed enough to meet Yahoo’s criteria, the orange badge will appear below your avatar on Monday morning.
It can disappear just as easily if you don’t keep answering questions in your chosen category.
