- Community Notes considers a contributor's five most recent notes that have reached a status of Helpful or Not Helpful.
- Notes with the status of Needs More Ratings aren't considered.
- If 3 or more of these 5 most recent notes have reached the status of Not Helpful, the contributor’s ability to write new notes is temporarily locked.
- A contributor’s ability to write new notes is temporarily locked if either (a) 3 or more of these 5 most recent notes have reached the status of Not Helpful, or (b) the contributor has a 0 or negative Writing Impact score, and a note reaches the status of Not Helpful.

Contributors can unlock their note writing ability by increasing their Rating Impact by 5.
Contributors can unlock their note writing ability by increasing their Rating Impact. The first time writing ability is locked, contributors need to increase their Rating Impact by 5 to unlock writing ability.

For example: If a contributor's Rating Impact was 22 when their ability to write became locked, they must increase this score to 27 to unlock their ability to write.

If a contributor’s writing ability is repeatedly locked, the additional Rating Impact needed to unlock it again increases by 5 each time.
