Excellent – Every site needs a solid group of core users to assist in moderating the site. We recommend:

  • 150 users with 200+ rep (currently 403 users with 200+ rep)
  • 10 users with 2,000+ rep (currently 21 users with 2,000+ rep)
  • 5 users with 3,000+ rep (currently 13 users with 3,000+ rep)
