Not quite. I'm asking what the privileges/penalties are, which I believe can be listed. An additional second column for the accompanying thresholds, sure, they change so maybe not.

"Comment Downvote, Poll Creation, Topbar Colour Choice, ..."
The topic as stated does not ask for the thresholds. I mention in the body "correspondingly definitive "price guide"", but that's a separate afterthought.
Or microsoft sycophants - a growing problem on HN (just ask @cooldeal, @recoiledsnake and @fekberg).
How much would a downvoting HN account be worth, really?
Sure, a spammer could sneak in a few messages at a more visible level, or presumably down-vote their competitors, but the suddenly-abusive account would get shut down pretty swiftly.
On other hand, the work required to get an account up to a significant level (say, 500+) is non-trivial, cannot be outsourced to a minimally-trained mouse-clicker, and wouldn't run cheap.
It's not clear to me how it would help a spammer to know what the limit it, given that it's high enough that the work is not worthwhile.
