There's a bit of a misunderstanding here: Docs won't live as a stand-alone site, they'll be a part of Stack Overflow. They'll likely get their own top-level nav item ("Questions, Tags, Users, ... Docs"). We're naming that tab (conceptually), not naming a brand new site. "Questions, Tags, Users, ... Null Reference" doesn't make much sense.

A: Why not require a bit of reputation to post Chinese characters?

This is something that has been bothering me for a while. I designed the anti-spam / anti-abuse layer that's been keeping most of this crap out for the last couple of years, and it was designed with 'snow shoe' spammers in mind. For those of you unfamiliar with the term 'snow shoe' when it co...

hichris123

It... kinda can. Kinda is the keyword though.

user259867

Depends on how it's used. If it's used to immediately tell the poster: <this> is not allowed, than they'll keep replacing <this> until something works.

right, but if it's more like spamram...

@hichris123 Yes. I'm going to try and get that going before the end of the year. I think I've worked out the attribution gaps that were holding it back. — Tim Post ♦ 29 secs ago

The regex-matching posts could be treated as if they had 4 spamflags already: (i) not visible on home page; (ii) deletable by two more spam flags.

Or, indeed... Proper attribution of spam is important, but how to attribute it after the user has been destroyed?

@hichris123 that is within 6 to 8 quarters?

Where's that answer on SE Meta with a table giving the rep thresholds of each privilage on private beta, public beta, gold (graduated) sites, and SO?

Q: Reputation requirements compared

How do reputation requirements for various privileges compare on Stack Overflow vs a graduated Stack Exchange 2.0 site vs a site in public or private beta? Return to FAQ Index

discussion faq reputation privileges

user259867

Most of it can be found in the help center. Most of the rest is out of date.

user259867

And there are more exceptions besides SO. For example, Math requires 1000 rep for tag creation.

@NormalHuman Thanks!

@NormalHuman Yes, though I don't have access to the help center of any private beta, but that isn't what matters now anyway.

Well... this is strange... I'm trying to download Eclipse Mars, and the checksums don't match those on the website.

Tried downloading from another mirror, and again the checksums don't match.

@S.L.Barth hacked maybe?

S.L. Barth

@cybermonkey Possible. But it's strange if two mirrors were both hacked.

Either way I'm not taking any chances.
