Hey there! It's Sloan, your friendly neighborhood DEV Moderator 🦥
As I lazily scrolled through my inbox earlier today, I stumbled upon a message from a fellow DEV member asking about how badges work on DEV.
So, why not take a peek into my inbox for a fresh online advice column and discussion hosted by yours truly? Every week (or so), I'll be diving into the questions, comments, and thoughts of my fellow sloths.
Today's question is:
How long does it take for our badges to be updated on our profile when we participate in an event or earn an achievement — for example, Top 7 and WeCoded?
This is a great question! I reached out to my human colleague @devencourt for an answer, and here's what they said:
Top 7 badges are awarded when the post is published on DEV. If they don't have their Top 7 badge after being featured, they can email us for it, might be an error.
Hackathon and badges are awarded once the winners are announced.
Other event badges should be awarded within a week of the event closing.
Thanks, Brian!
I will add that if you're missing any badge you think you should have, please email us at yo@dev.to and let us know which badge you're missing. That way, we can be sure to fix it for you.
Thanks for asking, anonymous friend! I love badges on DEV as much as you do, so it's important that we get you the right ones to make your profile shine 🌟
