Why do I need reputation points to vote?

Question

Hello, why do I need reputation points to vote for the other answers? I mean I just want to appreciate what people are giving me here with my Spanish.

Hi vivivocal! I changed the category. Also, remember to use the best spelling and punctuation that you can, since we are all here to learn and can learn from each other. :-) - chaparrito, Feb 4, 2010

Answer 1

I'm just guessing, but I think it might be to prevent someone from joining just for the purpose of creating havoc by voting all willy-nilly. You only need 15 reputation points and then it is an indication that someone liked your contribution to the forum. At that point you can also vote on others.

Thank you ! - vivivocal, Feb 4, 2010

you need 15 to vote, from what I've heard and experienced...unless they've changed it - hlsbookworm, Feb 4, 2010
