I don't want to be jealous
, but I have the fealing that the list there is not correct.
Also I cannot think that this is really a 24h gliding value. I have the feeling that there is a reset upon a specific time, were all values in this list are droped to 0.

Again: This can't be!
Makes you wonder whether the monthly top 10 is accurate :).
When is november's top-10 posted anyway?

Now I see. I didn't payed my bribe that I am listed in the top answeres list... SCNR
I saw David Kean post a message somewhere that the top-10 on the main page only counts the answers that were marked as such by the original poster.
That might clear things up.
Jelle,
I don't actually remember saying that, but it does make sense so as to stop users from marking their own posts just to get into the top 10.
Thought that was you, David. Hmm maybe it was Paul Domag, you both have these incredible amounts of posts 
.

Even from the point of the original poster: I had at least 2 answered questions. There were some people with 1 answered question!
I can't believe that somebody else marked the question as answered. When the question was made, I gave the answer and I got a third post that tells me that I was right and found my post marked as answer. This in bewteen 2 hours.
And: I never found me in this list when I looked at it going over the main forum page. Even I was in October one of the top 10 answerers. How this? Yes I have to confess that I don't look at this count every 10 minutes, even not every hour and even not every day 
.
These are not marked automatically, moderators have rights to mark posts as answered. In cases where the marking is not correct, the original poster can always unmark it as an answer.
There are many people who post questions and get a good answer but don't mark them as such. That is why moderators are granted the rights to scan messages and mark them as answered.
Chris,
First of all, can I ask that you don't post 'dummy' questions. We have enough work at the moment answering 9900 unanswered posts, without you adding to it needlessly.
Second of all, this is part of an email I sent to Jelle yesterday, in which I explain when I mark my own answers as correct:
It depends to the question I’m answering. If I’m 95% sure that the answer I’m giving is correct then I will automatically mark it as the correct answer, If I’m less than that, I go back to it a few days later and if no response has been given then I will mark it as the correct answer. However, I will not mark a question as an answer if: 1 it’s a clarification, 2 if I know the answer I’ve given isn’t correct.
If the asker isn’t happy with your response they can unmark your answer, or if they don’t I will unmark my own answers if it’s not the response they were after.
Also don’t be afraid to unmark other moderator’s answers. Sometimes, I see moderators marking their clarification questions as the correct answer; this is incorrect. If you don’t get a response from a clarification after a couple of months, delete the post.
