In September, we began requiring that new contributors unlock the ability to write notes by first making valuable ratings. This increased average note quality so much that, today, we are retroactively requiring that all contributors meet these criteria in order to write notes.
Contributors spend time and energy rating notes. Today’s change means the typical note that contributors see and rate will be of substantially higher quality, making better use of all that time and energy.
How will this work? If you were admitted to Community Notes before September and you’ve earned a Rating Impact score of 5+, or a Writing Impact score of 1+, you’ve unlocked writing ability — thank you for the great contributions! 🙌
If you haven’t earned that impact yet, you can unlock writing ability by earning a Rating Impact of 5. Details:
As always, we appreciate the feedback from contributors that drove this change and many others. If you are interested in becoming a contributor, sign up here: x.com/i/flow/join-bi…
@CommunityNotes My community notes rating is still 0 even though I've done a tonne of them. What's going on??
@CommunityNotes My Rating Impact has not increased at all since I started, despite rating a ton of notes.
@CommunityNotes What is this? I never knew about this. Is this different than tweeting a tweet. I'll look into it. Never knew there unlock writing ability by earning a rating impact that's great. Australia doesn't have access to blue yet though. Hope to asap.
@CommunityNotes Oh my goodness what is this about? All I wanted was what we had before but without so much censorship on political issues including Covid. Now I have no visibility and don't exactly know why. But I would ALMOST rather go back to the other way; this isn't working at all!
@CommunityNotes Doesn't sound like much fun at all. What is going on, seriously. All I wanted was what we had before (the old twitter) but without so much censorship on political issues including Covid. Now I have no visibility, and I don't exactly know why.
@CommunityNotes I have tried several times to get beyond signing up. Every thing I try merely throws me out to sign back in to Twitter and takes me back to the home page. How can I earn credits if I can't get to Tweets that need comments or notes in order to earn the five credits?
@CommunityNotes In the process of trying to achieve a 5, I've become dubious that the same improvement wouldn't have been achieved by just putting people on ice for several months and having them push a random number button several times a week until they achieve an average number of 5.
