Why is upvoting and flagging on Meta 20 points?
You get an extra 20 points by starting your account,so people that just register for no reason can upvote and flag anything on meta.It should be 50 for upvoting, 60 for flagging.

I'm going to agree. It would be far too easy for someone to make a duplicate account and spam upvote and spam flag. The spam flag could easily cause problems.

I would suggest 30 to upvote, 60 to flag.
I agree with the flagging statement but I don't see why someone would make a dip account to spam a meta account.
It would achieve nothing. It's also obvious when people spam vote.
They would spam upvote the meta account so they can spam flag on the meta. :P
And anyways, spam upvoting a meta account achieves as much as it would on the Pokebase and RMT.
Sorry it took me so long to comment, I was doing something.
But I like Trachy's 30 to upvote, 60 to flag,beacause spam flagging could really irritate a person.
I'll change flagging to 60 on my Q.I'll also make upvoting 50
That's great and all but the title still says 30 xD

Upvoting isn't a big privilege. Everyone should be able to vote, the only reason it's set higher on Pokebase is to avoid duplicate accounts spam upvoting. On meta it doesn't matter - spam upvoting a suggestion isn't gonna make me do it.

And FYI flagging already requires 40 points on meta.
