I bet whoever has the top comment on this one is going to see their karma go up and down as everyone tests out the unvote and undown feature. :)
- joshmanders 10y agoI tested it on you, and left the upvote. :)
- Symbiote 10y agoA pessimist would see their karma go down, then back up -- maybe.
- jfaucett 10y agoFinally! I tested on you :) The upvote is awesome, there have many times over the years I've mistakingly hit the up/down and wished for a redo.

- __mp 10y agoI can't downvote. How much Karma do I need to activate it?
- avitzurel 10y agoI got my downvote ability at around 550 or so...
- macintux 10y agoFor me it was 500.
- SalimoS 10y agoI'm at -17 guess not going to downvote ever :D
- ricree 10y agoI'm not sure the number is constant. I think it scales with either the age or the prominence of the comment. I've seen threads where I was unable to downvote top tier comments, even though I could downvote their children.
- dang 10y agoIt's constant at 501.
- macintux 10y agoI did see interesting behavior when I crossed the threshold: I couldn't downvote comments that existed before I reached that karma level (or at least the UI didn't render them with a down vote button).
- dang 10y agoDownvoting wouldn't be affected by that per se, but downvote arrows last for a much briefer time window than upvote arrows do.
- antognini 10y agoI think after 8 hours you can't downvote a comment anymore.
- BozeWolf 10y agoAre you sure you do not suffer from a mitm?
- mschuster91 10y ago500 AFAIK
- enedil 10y agoI have 117 and can downvote.
- jacquesm 10y ago400 or 500 points, I forgot which. Maybe someone with something between those two can tell?
- chucksmash 10y agoDon't know for sure but empirically it's more than 450.

- dharmon 10y agoI'm at 495 and can't downvote. Quick, 5 people upvote me and I'll tell you if it kicks in.
- deleted 10y ago[deleted]
- dharmon 10y agoOK, at exactly 501 you get a little down arrow (doesn't appear at 500). dang already confirmed it below, but at least I got to feel like a camgirl for 5 minutes. Thanks for playing!
- 2bluesc 10y agoWe can all dream
- Someone 10y agoWould you like to know whether you lose your downvoting ability if your karma drops below 500 again? Just ask, and I'm sure the HN crowd is willing to help you find out :-) Also, would that freeze the downvotes you gave earlier, or would you still be able to undo them?
- kami8845 10y agoHaha, looking at your profile page, your comment karma is increasing at about 20 upvotes / min
- JimmaDaRustla 10y agoTested upvote, worked. Tested undo upvote, worked. Tested downvote, worked. My testing is complete.
- AstroJetson 10y agoI went for iterations - up, down, up, down, up, down. So it seems to track. I left an upvote to make sure it stuck when I come back in a few hours to revisit.
- danvayn 10y agonice username, i love memes too!
- BinaryIdiot 10y agoSo was the final state of your vote down or did you change it afterwards? Did you test attempting to upvote twice in a row, downvote twice in a row, etc? :)
- theswaagar 10y agonew user so pardon my ignorance but I dont have a downvote button. Do I need to enable it somewhere?
- trca 10y agoyou need to have a certain amount of karma (number next to your account) for the downvote function to be available.

- foota 10y agoI'm having fun refreshing your profile page and watching your karma jump around.
- chrisfosterelli 10y agoWow that is quite impressive jumping. Sometimes I forget how many people lurk on HN.
- thecosas 10y agoSame lol. 1314, 1313, 1311, 1314....
- b_emery 10y agoGP's karma is in the 1500's now. Wow that's a great comment.
- shin_lao 10y agoI wanted to upvote that comment and so I did! Then later I changed my mind because really, it deserved a downvote. Anger passed and facing the consequences of my actions I was nothing but a broken man. I brought back equilibrium and removed that downvote. This is when I realized that the timing was perfect for a self-centered comment.
- slowmovintarget 10y agoThis comment made me want to test the reply. When there is a mighty wind, two cheeks are funnier than one.
- daveguy 10y agoWhen it settles down you have to tell us how many upvotes you ended up with on this. I tested back and forth several times and left you with an upvote. Your karma was about 200 less last time I checked!
- edem 10y agoI actually did that before reading this comment. :)
- smoyer 10y agoI think we really just need to test that down-voting works. But I almost never use down-votes so I'll leave that up to the "crowd".
- ajaimk 10y agoIt's you :-)
- deleted 10y ago[deleted]
- bradleyprice 10y agoVoted up. Saw the "unvote", didn't click it. I believe Hacker News has tested the functionality. I'll leave the upvote. Here's to you splawn.
- tuxone 10y agoI failed unvote by tapping on collapse link
