I cant downvote anything and always wonder how people do that, curious to hear answers.

  I think you need > 500 Karma before you can downvote.

    soon™

    I think that's not sufficient, other factors like time since account creation and possibly activity too seem to be taken into account too.
    • engi_nerd 10y ago
      That may be true. My recollection is that the ability to downvote became active right as I crossed the 500 karma mark, but it's possible there are other factors.

        The other factors seem quite mysterious. This is the only page in which I've seen downvote arrows in ages.
