I noticed that privileges here on our website can be acquired with a significant lower score than on other SE sites (ex: a trusted user at StackOverflow or Superuser requires 20000 reputation while here it only requires 2000).

So how are these values defined? Do they change when beta ends?

On private beta sites, some privileges require less rep than they do on public beta sites, and ditto for public beta sites versus graduated sites. So, for instance, where anyone can now create a new tag, you'll need 150 after the site goes public, and 300 after the site launches. What rep is required to do what can be found on the FAQ and on the list of privileges, but as a help it's posted below.

Don't be surprised when this happens—yes, you may lose some privileges when the site shifts from private to pubic beta. The only way to restore lost privileges is to keep asking great questions and writing great answers (and voting. Always vote. You have 30 votes a day. Use them, please).

How do we get people here to have higher reputation scores? Keep voting up those good questions and answers, that's how. Edit questions and answers into shape when they need it, so that others will vote them up. And please, don't forget to vote on questions.

(PS: you get up to an extra ten question votes per day if you vote on enough questions, too)
