Kind of a forums bug - MS accounts not tagged as MS, so they appear on the top answerers list.

Question
-
(Starting a new thread for this as requested)
There are many folks in the Windows 7 Hardware Compatibility forum that appear to be MS staff, but their accounts aren't tagged as being from MS. So many of them still clog up the main "top answerers" list.
I can use the "report abuse" button to flag these for you. But that might be abuse of that feature and I don't want to get banned :)
(I think a lot of these same folks hang out in many Win7 groups, so it's probably not just this list that they're impacting)

Hi Mark,
Please open a service request to validate these users in the top answerers list.

Side question, these folks that appear in the top answerers list, are they valid users? Reason I ask, is that the top answerers list shouldn't show MS Affiliated community users which is by design.
TY

What I meant, is that the Top Answers list if it contains MSFT users. Which it shouldn't.

Not sure what you mean. They have to be a valid user to appear in any of the lists.
