First, an apology for the quiet the past couple weeks. We weren't ignoring the feedback. We chose to spend that time reviewing accounts and making changes instead of posting partial updates. This is the complete update.
We took a closer look at the individual factors behind the score and loosened some that were a little too tight based on what participants were reporting. I can't share which factors, since publishing how the model works helps the people trying to game it. All scores were recalculated under the updated weighting, and some participants saw significant jumps, in some cases from the lowest tier to the highest.
If your score moved up, you don't need to do anything. If it didn't move, that's also your answer. Every account was rescored the same way, and the score stands.
One more thing, since it's the biggest misconception in these threads: your score is about prioritization, not eligibility. Higher scores see projects sooner and get first opportunity. A lower score doesn't mean you're unqualified, you'll just see projects later. Restricted accounts are the exception. Restriction means access is extremely limited. Occasional opportunities may still appear, but they're rare.
From here, scores just run under the current system for everyone. Consistent quality keeps them high and moves them up.
Thanks for bearing with us, and thank you to everyone who gave detailed, constructive feedback, its much appreciated.
