Verified writers have the ability to publish directly to the HackerNoon site without going through our editorial team. They are honored on the HackerNoon platform with a green verified checkmark next to their username.
We give these writers the ability to bypass the second human rule, only because they’ve gone through our editorial process many times and have consistently written publishable and outstanding content. They have effectively gone through our second human rule countless times and have gained the trust of our editorial team.
Verified writers are longtime contributors, writers who have completed our Hackership program, or are alumni of our blogging fellowship.
