# Sites There are five main types of privilege thresholds (sorted from high to low): * [Stack Overflow](//stackoverflow.com/privileges/) * graduated sites with a design ([example](//unix.stackexchange.com/privileges/)) * public betas and graduated sites without a design ([example](//hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/privileges)) * [Ask Patents](//patents.stackexchange.com/help/privileges) * Private Betas and [this site](//cs50.stackexchange.com/help/privileges). Except for Ask Patents, these are covered in the below table. See further below for changes to individual sites. <pre> Privilege Priv β Public β Designed SO ─────────────────────────────── ────── ──────── ───────── ────── Skip lecture on how to ask None None None 10 Participate in meta 5 5 5† 5 Create community-wiki answers 10 10 10 10 Remove new-user restrictions¹ 10 Vote up 1 15 15 15 Flag posts 15 15 15 15 Comment everywhere 1 50 50† 50 Set bounties 75 75 75 75 Edit community wikis 1 100 100 100 Vote down 1 125 125† 125 Create tags 1 150 300† 1500 Vote in moderator elections - - 150 150 Association bonus² 200 200 200 200 Reduced advertisements - - 200 200 View close votes³ 1 250 250 250 Run for moderator - - 300 3000† FP and LA review queue⁴ 350? 350 500 500 Established user⁵ 100 750 1000 1000 Edit freely, SE and LQ queue⁶ 500 1000 2000 2000 Suggest tag synonyms 1250 1250 2500 2500 Vote to close and reopen 1 500 3000 3000 Review tag wiki edits 750 1500 5000 5000 Moderator tools⁷ 1000 2000 10000 10000 Reduce captchas 1000? 2000 10000 10000 Protect questions 1750 3500 15000 15000 Trusted user⁸ 2000 4000 20000 20000 View site analytics 2500 5000 25000 25000 </pre> <sup> † Some site-specific change applies (see below) - The privilege does not apply (no elections or advertisements on this stage) ¹ post more than two hyperlink; less rate limiting; post images (not a new-user restriction on every site) ² +100 reputation on any associated account once you reached this on any site ³ see and cast close and reopen votes on own questions ⁴ access the first-posts, late-answers, and triage (SO only) review queues ⁵ expanded user card; see up and downvotes separately (after clicking) ⁶ edit posts of others without review; access suggested-edits, low-quality, and help-and-improvement (SO only) review queues ⁷ see deleted posts, reviews of others; moderator tools (various information); vote to delete questions two days after closure ⁸ edit tag wikis without review; vote to delete negatively scoring answers; vote to delete questions with −3 or lower without delay </sup> ### Site-specific changes: * To participate in MathOverflow Meta, you only need [1 reputation](//mathoverflow.net/help/privileges/participate-in-meta). * Commenting everywhere on Meta Stack Exchange is already [allowed at 5 reputation](//meta.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/comment). On Stack Apps, there is no threshold at all. * Downvoting on Meta Stack Exchange is allowed at [100 reputation](//meta.stackexchange.com/a/286150/295232), not 125. * Tag creation on Mathematics requires [1000 reputation](//math.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/create-tags). On StackApps it requires [99 reputation](//stackapps.com/help/privileges/create-tags). * Running for Stack Overflow moderator also requires certain badges, not just reputation. ### Privileges not tied to a specific threshold * To answer protected questions, you need to gain 10 reputation on the site – the association bonus does not count. * Every 1,000 reputation after the moderator-tools privilege, you gain another delete vote. * Every 1,000 reputation, you get one bonus flag per day. (You also gain bonus flags for casting helpful flags.) ### When reputation thresholds change When a site moves from one phase to another, [there is no grandfathering of privileges of any kind](//meta.stackexchange.com/a/139433/179372). You’ll immediately be held to the new thresholds and lose any privileges you no longer quality for. # Chat There are three chat domains: * Stack Overflow * Meta Stack Exchange * Stack Exchange (everything else) Your chat privileges are based on your reputation in the respective domain. This means that for Stack Exchange Chat your accumulated reputation counts. Chat 20 Create a chat room 100 Create a gallery chat room 1000 Review chat flags 10000 ----------
