On Stack Overflow the current privilege thresholds are considerably higher than a newly created site such as Interpersonal Skills which tells me that popularity dictates privilege thresholds.

So what happens if I attained privileges and then the threshold is increased?

  • This is actually covered in the linked posts. :) Privileges, unlike badges, are absolutely tied to rep. If your rep changes or the privilege levels change, you lose the privilege if you no longer have the required reputation. Commented Sep 4, 2018 at 16:08
  • @Catija Thank you for that. I was not aware that this is a beta vs. graduated site specific threshold; TIL what is a "graduated" site. I think my search skills failed me because I was not familiar with terminology. On a tangent, how does a site graduate? Commented Sep 4, 2018 at 16:16

    This should give you a general idea for the process. Commented Sep 4, 2018 at 16:17
  • @Catija thanks, were there ever suggestions/discussions to continue raising the threshold as a graduated site gains popularity? Commented Sep 4, 2018 at 17:47

Then you'll lose them. If the site is large enough to graduate (and get a custom design), it's certainly large enough to gather enough reputation for the increased privilege levels.
