What else can I help you with?
Who are the regular contributors on WikiAnswers?
A regular contributor is someone who does not have Supervisor status, or CA status.
How can a supervisor tell if a contributor has read his or her warning?
There's no way for a Supervisor to know unless the contributor either deletes the warning message or responds to the message on the Supervisor's talk page.
Who is the best WikiAnswers Supervisor?
There is no "best" supervisor. All supervisors are considered the "best" because they contribute more to the site than a regular contributor. Each supervisor is the "best" in their own special way, be it in a single category, or organizing categories of a certain category.
If you are a supervisor on WikiAnswers can you still be a Gold contributor?
Yes, all users, regardless if they're a supervisor or not, will have a contributor level badge. This could be a contributor, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, double platinum, or ruby level badge.
Who was the first Double Platinum contributor on WikiAnswers?
Like most of our records, supervisor HisPowr4U was the first...along with being the first Ruby contributor. Who knows what heights this supervisor can achieve?
What should you do if a WikiAnswers contributor has done advertisement in a question instead of answering it?
Self-promotion is allowed on a contributor's Profile page but never in an answer. Most likely the contributor is a robot. Most robots will be blocked from the site by a Supervisor. If you are a contributor, you should report your finding to a Supervisor, who will deal with it accordingly. However, if it is a normal contributor, the user will be warned by a Supervisor to stop advertising in answers. If the user does not heed the warning, their account will be suspended. WikiAnswers is a Q&A site, and it not to be used for advertising.
How does a Premier Answerer become a Category Supervisor?
The same way a regular contributor would become a supervisor. The most common way is to become an SPA (Special Project Assistant) and spend time doing tasks to prove if you are worthy of becoming a supervisor. To view more information, view the link below.
Can a supervisor unblock a contributor?
Yes, they have the ability to un-block a user.
What steps should a contributor take to work towards becoming a Supervisor?
Supervisors on WikiAnswers are just regular users who have been very active on the WikiAnswers community. You can become a supervisor just by doing your best to help out on WikiAnswers in any way you can. If an existing supervisor notices how good a job you are doing, he may recommend to a WikiAnswers administrator that you be made a supervisor.
How can you stop a contributor from changing your right answers on WikiAnswers?
If you believe that your answer is correct, but a contributor keeps spamming/changing the answer, let a supervisor know. They may be able to protect the question, and/or block the contributor.
How do I earn badges on Answers.com?
Contributor badges are earned by simply answering questions, editing answers etc. Supervisor badges are given (by a higher supervisor) when someone is nominated as a category supervisor.
Is it possible to get all the badges in Wikianswers?
You can technically get all the badges, but you can't have them all at the same time.For example...You can't have the Premier Answerer and Supervisor/Community Assistant badges at the same time.You can't have the regular (first) Contributor badge and the Supervisor/Community Assistant badge at the same time.
