oops, I thought mods could change it themselves but they need an admin assist
- The prerequisites for various site activities (currently reputation, to be replaced with trust levels) are configurable per site. The difference you're seeing for voting isn't so much *intentional* as an *artifact*. The default is to let even brand-new users have a few votes per day, and that's the setting on Languages & Linguistics. A couple weeks ago our network was under an attack and we lowered that value on some sites to defend against a disruptive troll.
These values can be changed by moderators. We didn't do a great job of announcing this when it happened, for which I accept responsibility. I'll point moderators to this post and let them know that they can change it back on their sites. Anybody should feel free to start discussions on site-specific metas about these settings.
