Participate Everywhere ability without meeting the requirements?
I noticed I have the ability Participate Everywhere even though I do not meet the requirements (Having roughly 75% of my posts to be positively received, with a minimum of 5 positively-recieved posts)
What gives?

Why do we have the "Participate Everywhere" ability when we haven't yet done anything?
Bootstrapping. Our communities are still small, so after we rolled out the abilities system we decided to put all our communities in "new community" mode, which lets everyone start with Participate Everywhere. Moderators can suspend a specific ability for a user if it's being misused, either for a specific time period or until the ability is properly earned.

Software Development Codidact is currently set to "New Site Mode". When we first launch a community, we've been launching with adjusted settings that make it easier to earn certain Abilities.
Once the community reaches a point where gaining Abilities based on the standard values doesn't seem impossible, which involves a certain level of active users posting, voting, and moderating, we (the Community Team) will decide to turn off New Site Mode. For the moment, though, Software Development is still small enough that it's beneficial to have users earn Abilities more quickly.
