We're back again with more badges! 🙌
These new ones are exclusive to DEV Moderators, and thus can only be earned by those with Trusted Member or T...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
Sounds a good idea but ... it can be harmful because some users will want to get such badges by "thumbs up" as much post as possible (even bad content). Maybe we can have a limit of "thumbs up" per day?
I am saying this based on my long StackOverflow experience where we have a ton of badges and it's difficult to resist the gamification system and you will try to earn all of them by any means.
Hey Temani,
Good concern to bring up!
We'll absolutely consider the thumbs-up per day limit. That's a pretty cool idea!
We really don't want gamification to encourage disingenuous 👍s.
We're setting up a a query to pull together all of the thumbs ups given and who gave them, so that we can manually double-check that folks approach this in a fair, genuine way. This way we can call out anyone who appears to be abusing thumbsups to get a badge.
In general, the overall system should stop this from being too impactful. While every mod's thumbsup does count toward the feature score, no one mod's moves should be able to shift things too much. We're trusting the wisdom of the crowds to pan out in our favor.
But again, we're gonna be keeping eyes on things! And I really do like the thumbs-up limit idea, that would be a good gate... I'll be bringing this up with the team.
Sounds fair enough
Yes, the destructive content is spread around dev.to and we should try to encourage quality content for once
This is indeed a must. ✅
Nice idea 👍🏼
Woot woot! Glad to hear you dig it, Thomas.
I'm pretty siked on this one. Happy to give all y'all mods more recognition for the awesome work ya do! 🙌
