I've just been a little curious about this recently, since I've noticed things appearing that weren't there before. I now have a "flag" link under the title on comments pages, and can set a topcolor in my profile. What becomes unlockable, and what are the milestones to each?

#2At 250 apparently you can change the color of the bar on the top.
6 more points to go!
*Thanks to everyone who voted this up. I can now confirm that this is indeed legit. On your settings page you can enter a six digit hexadecimal number that will change the color of the top bar. I'm going to try some of these out! http://www.somacon.com/cgi/colorchart.pl

No, I believe there's a higher threshold yet to post polls.

I would have imagined that there'd be more. For instance, I can't downmod overall topics, and that seems like a fairly straightforward thing to unlock for much higher karma levels.
