I think a rep limit of 300 on any site is good, you get 100 rep free on every site when you pass 200, and because you got that 100 rep on every site, you can flag everywhere

I wonder... why do spammers spam? Is it just because they get paid, or is there some perverse allure to posting crap that nobody cares about and seeing how long it lasts? — ArtOfCode6 secs ago
Maybe it's some intelligent life which is trying to communicate. They've seen spammers spam, and keep coming up with new and ingenious ways to spam when they just want to make friends.
for places with a more technical user base, it's identifiable as crap. but on other places they must actually have people click on it and earn them ad revenue
@Quill Try to avoid using sd gone without giving the post feedback, you have seen the post and know what happend, if we later see a post without feedback on metasmoke we need to check what the cause was
@Edity I've reverted the commit adding you; it was a mistake on my part, not checking for a strong record of participation on the sites. Sorry about the confusion.

@Ferrybig I agree with this 300 rep min on one site. The issue is, most of us here, have been here a while and are devoted to the site, this type of devotion comes with participation as a contributor on the site. I think it's a good rule of thumb, to access the rite of moderation and meta there needs to be contribution on the site first. Really this is a off shoot of moderation. (although technically unofficial)
@ArtOfCode Woo! Swag! Though, I've got to say that I probably am not in the running for Smokey/MS/Charcoal swag any more. I don't think I've made a code contribution in a long time.
@Yvette I also think users need accounts on more than a handful of sites. The user that started this discussion had 3 accounts last time. Ubuntu, SO (1 rep) and something else (with 1 rep). They have been a user on the network since mid-April. There is no way they know how to moderate on the SE network at this point yet.
@Quill I disagree. Smokey/MS is an aspect of SE. It is partially gamified in that we show feedback results and everyone wants the higher percent accurate numbers, but it is still part of SE. If you are here only to get the Smokey high score, you aren't actually doing anything for SE. You have to be able to flag posts on sites. Having only 3 accounts is not helpful.
@Andy It's a group effort, I know I'm not an official member of the team, but I've been around long enough to pull people up, which I did today. "he" was excited and we don't want to squash exuberance, but we also need it to be a good "work" place for the regulars who are here over time.
@Quill there's nothing to feel bad about. Just some min hard limit.
I remember when I asked for privileges here I had my hat in hand, I felt it was a big deal and I think it's good for the room to have that feel (to a point).
@Quill I'm not suggesting adding them to code. I'm making an argument for policy on Art's 'soft-limit' side. I think users need to actually be able to flag stuff on a sizable portion of the network

Notice the recent crypto one, the final e in stackexchange is on a new line and that characters appear between the g and the e. The key however, is all on the same line.
@Yvette min rep... meh. Standard of behavior? Sure: "If I get pinged more than once because you're abusing the system, you probably don't need to have access"
