  • Stack Overflow isn't that different from the other sites. There are more sites with a deviating level for tag creation, and running for moderator is the only other difference. I'm going to merge the last two columns. Commented Jul 16, 2017 at 16:23
  • What about "comment voting"? in which reputation can one do it? Commented Mar 12, 2020 at 16:30

    @aminabzz Upvoting comments shares the rep requirement with post flagging, so at the moment, it's 15 rep. Commented Mar 12, 2020 at 19:58
  • Perhaps cover edit (incl. tag wiki) suggestion privileges? Commented Jun 7, 2021 at 11:13

    Thanks for putting this together @AdamLear but what about unregistered accounts? This user has 1000+ rep but still has some restrictions on their account, like not being able to vote, right? Can they participate in elections? Can they set bounties? Can they do all the other things that 1000 rep users can do? Commented Jul 21, 2021 at 15:07

    @user1271772 I believe the main restrictions on an unregistered account are that it's incredibly easy to lose access to one and unregistered users can't vote. I don't think we've ever had an unregistered user try to become a moderator, but I'm reasonably sure we'd ask for a full signup at that point since we have to be sure that account won't be lost or potentially taken over by someone else.

  • @AdamLear Thanks for your very swift response! So they can't vote, but can they do other things that come with rep, such as approve edits on other people's questions, or offer bounties? Since you said you "believe" these are the only restrictions, perhaps you haven't confirmed what privileges their accounts are restricted from getting? Commented Jul 21, 2021 at 16:39
  • This is no longer correct, I believe. Non-designed sites I think can choose to raise their rep requirements. And sites like Quantum Computing have a design, but lower rep requirements (not sure if they will raise that). Commented Nov 19, 2021 at 21:11
  • @Laurel we can simply choose to raise our rep rep requirements (for example 25k for seeing site analytics, instead of 5k)? Commented Dec 27, 2021 at 5:30
