| Sep 4, 2016 at 8:05 | comment | added | Robotnik | I'm currently maintaining a small one of my own out of my own pocket. To get one from SE, with the content box & formatting we're used to as well as imgur for hosting images, would be a great reward for reaching 30k. | |
| Dec 21, 2015 at 3:16 | comment | added | Jeffrey Bosboom | Would a single-user team page cover this (at least for Stack Overflow)? (Also, I imagine a 30k SOer could set up their own blog if they wanted...) | |
| Aug 21, 2015 at 22:10 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | Is "moar wordpress" still part of the deal after the changes to the SE blog? | |
| Jun 22, 2015 at 14:40 | comment | added | Zibbobz | @AshleyNunn They might, but there's an easy way to avoid being drawn into their soapboxing: Just don't read their blog. | |
| Jun 22, 2015 at 12:27 | comment | added | Raphael | FWIW, community/site blogs could (automatically?) draw from posts by their users then. | |
| Jun 17, 2015 at 16:20 | comment | added | Benjamin Gruenbaum | As a 30K+ user who doesn't blog - this is probably a feature I'd use, it doesn't sound like a lot of work - great idea. | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 0:27 | comment | added | Joe Z. | @James It would be pretty hard for an SEO nutter to get to 30k in the first place. That takes at least 150 days of reputation-farming... | |

| Apr 10, 2015 at 20:44 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor | @Shog9 Are you SURE you want this feature implemented? I now have 10k on a beta (which, according to most of the other answers here, would correspond to 30k on a graduated site). You can imagine what my SE blog would be like, right? You'd probably get a mention, you know. | |
| Apr 9, 2015 at 21:21 | comment | added | derobert | I'm almost at 30k on two different sites… and I've participated in a few blogoverflow blogs. I'm not sure this would be any more successful than blogoverflow; why wouldn't I just link to my own blog (if I had one) in my profile? | |
| Apr 7, 2015 at 23:22 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | Sounds good to me @shog9 and I think I like the blog idea. Just saying we might want to look again at some of the lower levels too. | |
| Apr 7, 2015 at 23:14 | comment | added | Shog9 | Exactly, @Monica - high rep users should be trusted with more and more power in exceptional situations, just like mods. Let's get away from this, "congratulations! You did such a great job on the cathedral ceiling frescos we've set aside some time for you to spend mopping the floors in the latrine!" | |
| Apr 7, 2015 at 21:47 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | "Everyone's kinda fixated on moderation privileges here." As you said, understandable -- everything you get after 1000 rep is a moderation privilege (the two "milestones" are really mod privs). If this is a concern, it might apply to lower privilege levels too. | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 16:37 | comment | added | Shog9 | I don't know that that's really an end-game, @Anna - I think it'd be a damn good privilege for 30K users, which is why I suggested it. All I'm saying is, if we did build this and it turned out to be wildly successful then... Well, that'd be a pretty good problem to have - and I've little doubt we could find a way to get more return on the dev-time investment without taking away from 30K users. Think, suggested edits - we opened up a privilege to anyone on the 'Net without really taking away from the folks who'd earned that privilege, and first we solved a whole lot of problems with it. | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 10:17 | comment | added | Wrzlprmft | @ChristianRau: I have very little experience with the site-based blogs, but can’t we combine the two: Every site automatically gets a blog and every 30 k user can write on it? | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 10:15 | comment | added | Wrzlprmft | I was playing with the thought of starting something blog-like on stuff that was too opinion-based or otherwise unsuitable for SE anyway, so I like this idea. However: How will this feature be adapted to public betas? If the reputation threshold is also 30 k, it will be quite difficult to reach. If the threshold is different and lower (say, 10 k), this may have disallow people continuing their blog, if a site graduates. | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 4:51 | comment | added | Shog9 | I think CC-BY-SA strikes a good balance, @Monica. Note that it doesn't necessarily imply in-place editing, but allows the author to retain ownership while giving others some confidence that they can reference, reuse and extend useful posts without the fear of having the rug pulled out from under them. | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 4:02 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | When you say the "usual content policies", does that include the CC-by-SA license? Posts on the Q&A site that can be edited by anybody feel different to me than blog posts, and I wonder if a different flavor of CC, one that takes a firmer hand with derivative works, would be more appealing to prospective bloggers. | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 2:57 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | @Shog9 Granted, but if the end game is "try to get this right and then lower the access barrier", then what you're really suggesting is a limited roll-out pilot-type feature rather than a privilege. Precedent or no, we'd be right back where we are now, looking for a replacement for a 30k-level privilege and making folks feel like something that's theirs is being taken away otherwise. | |
| Apr 4, 2015 at 17:26 | comment | added | Shog9 | If we built this and folks actually used it and it wasn't a complete trainwreck, I'd tend to agree @Anna... But, it's always possible to lower the rep level for a privilege, and we've had good success with this in the past. 30K is a pretty high bar for something that more than anything else just needs a lot of warm bodies, but it's pretty low for "can write, has stuff to write about". | |
| Apr 4, 2015 at 15:45 | comment | added | Shog9 | That'd be easier to sell if "moar wordpress" wasn't part of the deal, @Christian. Regardless, that's a separate discussion. | |
| Apr 4, 2015 at 15:02 | comment | added | Christian Rau | Rather than that make SE revert their awful decision to stop supporting any new site-wide blogs at all just because some of the existing ones didn't spit out content on a daily basis. | |
| Apr 4, 2015 at 10:17 | comment | added | James | What a fantastic idea for the site.. but not for 30k users. I think that would be a real shame not allowing such a thing for the many great users who are not even close to that rep. You'd also possibly entice spammy SEO nutters doing all kinds to get to 30k to spam their sites, so would need to be only to users with really good activity. e.g. X% good to bad review ratio, good up to down vote ratio on their answers/questions, etc. | |
| Apr 4, 2015 at 7:25 | comment | added | Travis J | Well the topic is privileges, and not moderation, so I find this on topic. I also like the idea proposed, and would probably use it on Stack Overflow if it were available. I believe this would be a constructive way to essentially post canonical information without the hoops of the main site. | |
| Apr 4, 2015 at 3:59 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | Thanks for diverting focus away from moderation privileges - you're highly on point there - but I don't think I can get behind the blog idea as a 30K privilege. If nothing else, it's gonna be a heck of a time investment to build something like that and do it right. Now, that isn't a reason not to do it, but assuming we do build that, 30K then seems like a really steep requirement for entry. | |
| Apr 4, 2015 at 3:48 | comment | added | user168476 | Part of me is kinda afraid people will use this for all kinds of soapboxing, especially if blog content does not have to be tied to site content (and even then, I can see cases where this could go horribly wrong, even with the assumption that users with 30k should be "above" such things.) | |
