I 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?
