Does anyone know when the new threshold will kick in ? for example, when we're out of beta, you can't vote to close/reopen unless you have 3000 rep.

I think it's already kicked in! For instance, access to moderator tools needs a rep of 10,000. I can't access it anymore. In beta, I could; since the threshold was 3,000 (or 2,000. I don't recall exactly).

$\begingroup$ groan. ok. I hope that we have moderator elections soon then, so we can get more moderators in place. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 30, 2010 at 23:30

$\begingroup$ @Suresh: I didn't know we would have "moderator elections." I should start a campaign ;) Joking aside, I don't know how Shiva voted to close. Maybe there was a glitch in the system? $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 30, 2010 at 23:53

$\begingroup$ @Suresh: I think he voted before the new system kicked in. Now we have only 10 users who can vote to close questions, but hopefully that will suffice for now. $\endgroup$– KavehCommented Dec 1, 2010 at 0:16

$\begingroup$ I think moderator elections are a month away or so. they are still working out the kinks in the new voting system I think. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 1, 2010 at 2:57

$\begingroup$ @Suresh: Yeah, they seem to have migrated from “one user, one vote” system to “one user, three votes” in 2010 SO mod-election (blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/02/…) $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 1, 2010 at 3:17

I think that the new thresholds are already in effect. For example, https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/privileges/close-questions says that voting to close requires 3000 reputation points.
