Jan 15, 2016 at 13:30 comment added Pollyanna @kjbartel I've been around long enough to know what Meta is and isn't. It isn't fully another stack exchange site, yet it isn't just a meta either. I still believe, as I have from the beginning, that we have to strike a balance which allows all users on every site to contributed meaningfully, while still recognizing that there are people with expertise in the subject of Stack Exchange itself who should have additional rights and responsibilities here. In the case of downvoting, we should have more latitude for users on other sites, but we shouldn't open the floodgates to them.
Jan 15, 2016 at 13:11 comment added kjbartel @AdamDavis That doesn't make any sense at all. Do you expect network wide features to be discussed on every single other meta site which the change will affect? The point is to discuss them here in a central place. You might want to read the help center What is meta?.
Jan 15, 2016 at 13:02 comment added Pollyanna @kjbartel Because Meta is a Stack Exchange site for experts to discuss Stack Exchange. It isn't a meta site, it is a full stack exchange site, just like any other stack exchange site.
Jan 15, 2016 at 12:53 comment added kjbartel @ShadowWizard Seems I don't have to as someone else has already posted effectively the same answer to that question.

Jan 15, 2016 at 12:48 comment added Shadow Wizard This has the same goal, hence duplicate. Feel free to suggest your way to reach the goal as new answer in there.

Changed title to make it clear that THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATE!
Jan 15, 2016 at 12:41 comment added kjbartel @AdamDavis Why should down voting here have a cost and not any any other meta site?
Jan 15, 2016 at 12:38 comment added kjbartel @ShadowWizard This is not a duplicate as I do not think that simply lowering the bar to down-voting is enough. The reputation and voting system on meta does not match what voting means.

Rewording to add suggestted fix - remove reputation changes
Jan 15, 2016 at 12:26 history closed Shadow Wizard feature-request Duplicate of Change rep required to downvote on MSE
Jan 15, 2016 at 12:11 comment added Pollyanna @kjbartel This feature request takes the idea further than I'd suggest. Downvoting should still have a cost, even here, so while I support changing the reputation required for downvoting, I cannot support this proposal specifically. I'll submit a new feature request soon which only addresses the reputation required to downvote.

Rewording, added links to related posts
Jan 15, 2016 at 10:19 comment added kjbartel @Yannis Indeed. Privileges dictate your level of involvement in the site. Which is the core of the question. The current system is preventing proper involvement of SE users which all users should be able to participate in just as they are able to participate in the specific meta for the sites they are members of. Really, this question would better fit in a meta.Meta since it is a feature-request for meta.SE rather than for the whole network.
Jan 15, 2016 at 10:12 comment added yannis True, and that's the only reason MSE has its own rep @kjbartel (there isn't a main site to inherit user privileges from). But then, who cares about privileges and reputation on a support site? It's not like this is a site you'd show off to friends, colleagues, etc... The rep here is just a technicality, and nothing more.
Jan 15, 2016 at 10:04 comment added kjbartel @Yannis If it's pointless then why is it tied to your privileges on this site?
Jan 15, 2016 at 10:02 comment added yannis Well yes, but MSE rep is pointless @kjbartel. Why do you care about it?

Jan 15, 2016 at 9:56 comment added kjbartel @Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. Yes I would also. But on any other meta site the person you're down voting wouldn't lose reputation. meta.SE apparently isn't like any other meta site. I think that's broken.
Jan 15, 2016 at 9:48 comment added M.A.R. RE the update: Huh? I'd downvote any feature request on any meta site if I disagree with it. That's how meta voting works, not meta.SE voting.
