Note: After a site is out of Public Beta, but before it is designed, it will still use the Public Beta thresholds.

Additionally:

  • every 1,000 reputation, get one bonus moderator flag per day (you start with 10; e.g. a 10ker has 20 flags).
  • Chat requirements are all based on global reputation -- except for Stack Overflow Chat and Meta Stack Overflow Chat, which only count their parent site's rep.
  • Stack Overflow moderator nomination also requires certain badges, not just rep.
  • Tag creation on Mathematics requires 1000 reputation, not 300.
  • Downvoting on Meta Stack Exchange is allowed at 100 reputation, not 125.
  • To participate in MathOverflow Meta, you only need 1 reputation.

Also keep in mind that when a site moves from one phase to another, there are no grandfathering of privileges of any kind. You'll immediately be held to the new privileges threshold and lose any privileges you no longer quality for.
