users with no upgrade should be able to +1/-1rep

this would be a good idea but you have to figure out what minimum we would put on them exactly
allowing any regular user to join and give rep increases risk for abuse. imagine a multi of a previously banned account negging everyone for revenge.
this neg would stay regardless of whether they're banned or not.
i think a good minimum is 150~200 posts AND 10~20 rep, but at that point users are already upgraded or members don't bother putting in the effort for meeting that goal
