Policy? Maybe not, but the apparent lack of downvote buttons seem to indicate that the ethos of "discussion over downvotes" is on the mark.

- biot 11y agoTry reading the FAQ: Why don't I see down arrows? There are no down arrows on stories. They appear on comments after users reach a certain karma threshold, but never on direct replies. Since your account was created 5 minutes ago, you lack the karma to downvote.
- giaour 11y agoDownvote buttons become visible when you have sufficient karma to vote something down.
- jonknee 11y agoThere is a downvote button after you have gotten some karma. See: http://i.imgur.com/dqItM9R.png http://i.imgur.com/dqItM9R.png
- codyb 11y agoDownvoting is enabled once you hit 500 karma, a policy presumably meant to ensure that those most likely to contribute to a quality discussion are also the most likely to have good judgement in downvoting less quality discussion.
- baddox 11y agoNot everyone lacks downvote buttons. I have them. I don't know how you get them, but I assume it's related to account age and/or karma.
