Most DEV accounts are individuals, and we encourage "org accounts" for publications, but this week's winner is more of a publication with a user account. We only have guidelines, and not hard rulesβso this account was still eligible. π
JavaScript Room joins @iam_timsmith, @fullstack_to, @espoir, @helenanders26, @philnash, @florinpop17 and @lauragift21 in the club as the fourth winner of this badge.
The Big Thread Badge is awarded to the person who creates a discussion thread on the site that sparks the most collective comment love (e.g. score as determined by total β€οΈ reactions and adjacent ranking factors).
This was JavaScript Room's thread:
Entry is simple: Start a thread that is bound to spark a lot of comments. Ask the community to tell a certain kind of story and get lots of comments! Even if these threads aren't always answering the deep questions, they are often great for seeing what the broader community thinks of a topic and are usually a lot of fun!
Use the #discuss tag to signal that the post is a discussion thread.

DEV employees are not eligible for the Big Thread Badge. π

Oh, this is such an honor for me! This post really surprised me by the number of comments and such useful feedback! Thank you for the great platform for developers @practicaldev !
Feel like I've got Oscar finally! =)
Hey @ben ,
Had an idea. What do you think about making the Top 7 and Top Thread posts each week part of a series so they are easier to find? I stumbled upon an old one just by chance when searching for something else the other day and the articles were great. It would be awesome if we could easily grab all the Top 7s or Top Threads from the past in order as a quick way to find something to read. Just a thought π
