Newspeak Rated Expansion: - Rules of Play says:

Navigate the precarious world of social ratings in this modular expansion for NewSpeak, bringing Dissident Player ratings and Location ratings to the game to add another element to the code-breaking challenge. Play as two all-new Dissident characters, and don’t forget - keep your rating high!

In Rated, each dissident player is assigned a social rating wheel as well as their targeting dial, showing their social rating to moderators at all times. Each location is also randomly assigned a social rating token.

If a dissident is caught by a moderator, their social rating is decreased by one to a minimum of one. Dissidents may not target a location that has a higher social rating than they currently have. The only way to get around this is to avoid capture, or focus on a diminishing number of locations that have been unfiltered by the dissidents - which have a rating of 1 by default.
