For “new to EA” and “peripheral”: people would often say things like “I’m new to EA, so I don’t really know” or “I’m only peripherally engaged with the community, so I don’t really know” to explain their ratings.
“More community/influence” captured comments saying they wanted to EA community to do more, particularly involving becoming more of a community or a larger community or influencing people more.
For becoming more of a community, it seems like this could be read as a negative (e.g. people don’t feel welcome by the existing community, while the latter sounds quite positive—people are happy with the way the community influences and want more of it?
So I could imagine that might be reason for giving this factor both positive or negative rating

A lot of the ratings/comments were ambivalent in this way. This was in response to the question “Why did you give the two ratings [1-10] above?” rather than something like “Why did you give a positive/negative rating?” A lot of comments, were of the form “The community is great, but it should do more...”
Mean satisfaction ratings for people within the “More community/influence” category were 7.255 and mean satisfaction ratings overall were 7.259 (i.e. very similar).
Also, under the “Why did you give the two ratings above?” what does “more community/influence” , “new to EA” and “peripheral” mean?
