Twitter users need to unlock the ability to write Community Notes

All contributors to the Community Notes feature will have to rate a certain number of notes before they can write their own notes.

The rating notes on the platform will increase a user's "Rating Impact," a ranking system that reflects how often a contributor's ratings have helped notes to be identified as "Helpful" or "Not helpful" When a contributor has a Rating Impact of at least five, the ability to write community notes will be unlocked. In order to boost your rating impact, notes in need of ratings can be found under the "Need your help" section.

In order to maintain content quality and reduce misinformation on the platform, Community Notes allows users to add context totweets. To be eligible to become a contributor, users need to have joined at least six months prior and have no recent violations of the rules.

Community Notes users will lose their note-writing access if they don't rate and create quality notes.

The restriction was only applied to new contributors when it was first introduced in September. All contributors will be required to meet the criteria in order to write notes from now on. Users can keep their contributor status if they add quality contributions or lose their note-writing access.

Community Notes were only visible to users in the US prior to the feature's global expansion on December 11th, though some users have expressed concerns that they are still unable to meet potentially US focused eligibility criteria.

Although it does not list approved carriers for users to reference, it recently blocked users on dozens of mobile carriers for hours during Musk's push to block junk mail. According to Alex Heath of The Verge, Musk claimed that his company was being sCAMmed for as much as $60 million a year.

In the past, Musk has had his own Community Notes fact-checked on everything from exaggerating Dune to saying activist groups were to blame for a massive drop in revenue. The new restrictions on who can write Community Notes don't come from Musk himself, but the changes could reduce participation in the crowdsourced content moderation service and limit how often his comments are publicly corrected on the platform.

The details about phone and phone carriers have been added.
