This has been an exact summary of my experience with SO. Extremely useful when searching for things. Difficult to get started contributing to.

The thresholds for unlocking privileges are there to filter out offensive trolls and other drains on the community. This can be a bit annoying since it applies separately to every subdomain and I can't be bothered to build up rep in every place that I might want to make an occasional comment.

Once you have sufficient rep on one site, you get 100 rep on all sites which is enough to comment everywhere.

The +100 that you get for signing up on a new subdomain is supposed to get you over that hump. But I don't remember how much rep you need to get the signup bonus.
