Yahoo!7 Answers Blog Australia

Here at Yahoo!7 Answers we use badges to designate the different types of community members participating in the Yahoo!7 Answers community. Here is an explanation of the different types and their meaning:

– An Official badge indicates that the identity of a community member asking or answering questions on Yahoo!7 Answers has been verified by a member of the Yahoo!7 Answers Team. This helps us distinguish our celebrity, professional, and sponsor participants within the Yahoo!7 Answers community.

– The Staff badge displays when members of the Yahoo!7 Answers Team or other Yahoo!7 staff members officially ask questions on Yahoo!7 Answers.

– The Top Contributor badge is used to recognise a member of the Answers community who has shown that they are knowledgeable in a particular category. The top contributor badge is dynamic, which means that you earn it or lose it depending on your recent participation in a particular category. To learn more about Top Contributors, please review Top Contributor help.

–  A Knowledge Partner is an official expert sharing their knowledge on Answers. To learn more about this program, please review Yahoo!7 Answers Knowledge Partners.
