Reputation requirements compared
I tried to find the minimum reputation required to chat with a person, As want to chat with a person having 6 reputation in all. I know it's a minimum requirement, But don't know what is that. Help?
Also I suggest that to be around 6 as many user got stuck in those first question and the need a discussion on that, but the can't actually, due to this reputation requisite.
It is 20 points for all sites.
To find out how many points are required for any privilege, visit the sites' /privileges page. You can reach it from the dropdown next to your name in the top bar.
20 points is really low, I don't see any need to have that lowered any further. From the privilege page:
We can't allow anonymous participation on chat, so we require a small bit of parent site reputation to ensure that chat is reserved for active, engaged members of the community.
/reputation.
