| Jun 18, 2015 at 22:55 | comment | added | GiantCowFilms | The rep system favors skilled users, which is exactly the point. Reputation next to your post, is like having a PHD co-author your article. It adds credibility, and you have to know what you're doing in order to earn that respect. As far as privileges go, I think the 50 rep limit (which I do think is tad high) is implemented to make sure people who have no idea what they are doing don't keep adding their two cents worth into the discussion. I earned my first 50 rep in a few days (its a bit longer but I didn't visit the site for a week), experts are not chased away. | |

| Jun 15, 2015 at 20:59 | comment | added | gandalf3 | Also saying "please don't ban me" is not likely to have any affect on whether or not you are banned (and you are not likely to be banned, as zeffi said). | |
| Jun 15, 2015 at 20:07 | comment | added | zeffii | @Nefer007 you'd need to do a string of stupid antisocial things to warrant a ban. We do care about visitors, and new users, we care about this site enough to continually make decisions that may seem mean but are really only an ongoing effort to streamline the information here. Almost all questions get edited, it's the way things work here, and the reason is to make the content easier to read by reducing verbosity, spelling mistakes, and improve structure and formatting and fixing tags. | |
| Jun 15, 2015 at 12:17 | comment | added | Nefer007 | Except nobody even seems to care. I've literally had to add 'this is just my thought process, please don't ban me' to many of my answers to stay safe. | |
| Jun 15, 2015 at 7:26 | comment | added | gandalf3 | Regarding comments, I too always thought 50 rep seemed rather high.. For any users reading this who really really want to comment and can't, it's okay to leave an answer and make a note that it's intended as a comment, one of our mods can convert it. But spamming such answers will likely be frowned upon. | |
