Nov 1, 2016 at 16:20 comment added Kendra As in this post it's now only 100 rep to downvote- Not your 15 for upvoting, but much better for those who do spend time on other sites. (Well, and haven't lost the rep on posts here already... Meta can be a harsh land.)

Oct 14, 2016 at 8:06 comment added rene Mod sure, doesn't matter still disagree.
Oct 14, 2016 at 7:50 comment added Lee @rene "X rep elsewhere is worth Y rep here" is my argument, not that the words are synonyms!

Oct 13, 2016 at 20:24 comment added Lee @rene It may not be 500, but I'd say that there is some number of rep earnt elsewhere that translates to "trust earnt here".
Oct 13, 2016 at 20:19 comment added rene Mod I wholeheartedly disagree, I simply don't buy that having contributed in one community should automagically give you privileges on a site that has a completely different scope. Trust needs to be earned here, that is important. A contribution in a community doesn't mean you're good at making contributions here.
Oct 13, 2016 at 20:16 comment added Lee gah.. "an SE community" should be "a SE community"

Oct 13, 2016 at 19:58 comment added Lee @rene my argument is that a contribution to an SE community is a contribution to SE therefore a voting on future direction is an earnt reward. That influence mightn't have been earnt for a new-user at a particular community's meta.

Oct 13, 2016 at 19:52 comment added rene Mod @atomh33ls so? Because MSE has more impact on all sites, all privileges should be higher, harder to achieve, not easier.

Oct 13, 2016 at 19:50 comment added Lee @rene good question - because metaSE applies across all communities
Oct 13, 2016 at 19:50 comment added Mathieu Guindon Your friend could do like he did on these other communities - participate - and he'll get to >=125 rep in no time.

Oct 13, 2016 at 19:48 comment added rene Mod And why exactly should this rule be applied to MSE only? It can't be because you're just trusted on Gardening and Landscaping that you know which network wide policies require down votes. That also requires a bit of trust that is easy obtained here on this site
