OP.
- Why has Yishan Wong refused Top Writer status on Quora? (tl;dr; he’s refused to say)
- Why do some Quorans reject the Top Writer title? (no other instances given)
- Why do people decide to opt-out of the Quora “Top Writers” program? (a comment reports that a Mary Bennett did)
- How can I opt-out of being in the Top Writers program?
- Who opted out of the Top Writers (Quora program) program? (Anon, appears to have hinted he was Yishan Wong)
- I Declined To Be In The Top Writer Program (Yishan Wong only member)
- What is it like to opt-out of being a Top Writer?
So lots of interest in declining the TW in particular, but not much evidence to date since the TW program was launched.
I have seen at least one other Quoran say they’ve refused the award, but of course, Quora Search (and it may have been in a comment); so I can’t find it.
EDIT: Godfrey Lawrence Noel McDonnell’s answer to Is there a way to remove the grey top writers quill and inkwell from a grey/ex TW’s profile? Although that is removing retrospectively a past TW badge.
