Well, really it's shown to 10k users everywhere, although I think not everyone sees all flags at once or something. But in either case they're usually handled pretty fast.
Hello. I would like to know, if someone proposes a site in area54, and the site gets enough commits to go online. Does the proposer get any type of privileges? Like, becoming a mod or something similar?
@Seth Really?? Call me a drama queen, but I think that is really unfair.

@phpNoOBఠ_ఠ Proposing a site, and getting people to sign up, doesn't necessarily indicate that you're suitable for moderating/fostering-growth-of an actual living community. Beta moderators are appointed a week or two into the private beta, once there's been a bit of time users to demonstrate participation and community leadership ability.

It is common for the person who proposes a site to become a beta moderator -- they have the motivation to the site grow and may demonstrate this quickly once the site the site is active. But they're not made a moderator solely because they proposed the site.

This is slightly similar to the story of Stack Exchange 1.0, where there were lots of people who would pay to create a site and get administrator powers, but not be well-suited to that role.
@Shog9 I just had another unupvote event that didn't trigger a recalc. Take a look at my current (visible rep) and compare it with my audit page. There's a discrepancy of 10. This is the usual case for me - I see this bug happen about once or twice a month.
@Mysticial Well, you didn't get a recalc 'cause you hadn't rep-capped yet... Not that it matters, since the guy who retracted the vote gave it right back again.
@Mysticial heh... So yeah, this is the same thing we talked about the other day; since you were rep-capped on the day you received the retracted vote, it shouldn't have actually cost you anything. When it was retracted and restored today, you got a legit +10 because you're not (yet) rep-capped today.
Yep. I was kinda waiting for it happen again before pinging you. I had at least 2 other unupvote events since then, but those votes were on days where I didn't cap.
@Mysticial Well, you had one yesterday that was calculated correctly - probably because the vote was originally cast after you hit the cap (so gave you nothing) vs. one that contributed to a cap followed by others that did not.

You're painting with a really broad brush here, and implicitly insulting a lot of folks along the way - folks who do try to explain things, write generally-useful answers and even occasionally put the time in to edit the questions they're answering into a form that others can find...
That said, ...
@phpNoOBఠ_ఠ I don't see how it is unfair... proposing a site (AFAIK) is just as easy as asking a question. Moderators must prove that they are good users.
@Seth If the site turns out to be very useful, then I am sure some privileges should be given at-least. Let's see it this way: judging by your reasoning if a question is asked and is beneficial for the community OP's are rewarded with reps/badges. The same way, If the proposal should get commits( qualifying for a good suggestion that is) the person proposing should as well have some privileges.
seems interesting question for some discussion. I would ask it here on meta, if I was not afraid of being watered down with downvotes.
You get a badge in the area where getting badges should be concerned. When that means proposing sites, you get a badge on the site where proposals are made.
When that means operating on a site, you get rewards on that site
I don't get a reward on Meta just because I'm a ♦ on another site.
@BenjaminGruenbaum you're arguing with a non-professional disinterested developer who wants what he does not earn. I would not waste too much time on an argument
You suggest arousal for picking fights on a site that is not this site, and state that it is your opinion. That was in no way related to a previous comment or discussion.
Currently, like in Stack Overflow when an answer in meta gets a lot of downvotes it gets greyed out. This makes answers harder to read.
While the motivation for this is clear in Stack Overflow I'm not sure what purpose of it in Meta is, since upvotes and downvotes do no represent effort and u...
@phpNoOBఠ_ఠ nodejs is a severside JavaScript platform built on Google's V8. Imagine PHP but without the SAPI. You don't need apache for node or any other external server (although nginx is often used to serve static files).
