All the current documentation for tag synonyms imply (or even state) 2000 is needed to vote on tag synonyms. Unless it is a beta-test issue or something, I can vote on synonyms with <700 on SO and <730 on Meta. (I cannot vote in SU with 130 odd or StackApps with 140.)

My initial implementation and unit tests all had tag editing as the rep requirement. I just upped it to post editing cause I think it makes much more sense.
Synonyms can be pretty destructive.

I think I understand your response: Voting required the same rep as tag editing and now you've made it the same rep requirement as post editing. I assume it takes a while for your changes to go live -- I can still vote on SO and MSO. Jul 31, 2010 at 5:46

It probably makes sense to lower the bar to start with anyway, to clear most of the older clearly reasonable synonyms. Jul 31, 2010 at 5:52
