- 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.
- niftich 10y agoA few weeks ago I recently obtained the downvote ability at 500 karma.
- justinpombrio 10y agoI suspect you mean 501. I reached 500 a few weeks ago, and left it there for a while... it was such a nice, round number.
- wila 10y agoSorry upvoted you, onwards to the next round number.
- tedmiston 10y ago^ This is correct. I was equally confused when mine hit 500 and downvote wasn't there.
- pigscantfly 10y agoYou need to have a certain amount of karma before you can downvote comments. I'm not sure what the threshold is these days.
- nv-vn 10y agoYou get it after 500
- jchendy 10y agoYou need a certain amount of karma to downvote. I think it's 500, but I'm not sure because I don't have that much yet. :) Edit: it's confirmed at 501: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12074198 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12074198
- ASalazarMX 10y agoJust 5400 more days and I'll be able to downvote! What a time to be alive!
- barking 10y agoI just upvoted you there because I'm nice like that.
- jchendy 10y agoThanks! Only three more votes before I get superpowers. :)
- xenophonf 10y agoI upvoted you. With great power comes yadda yadda yadda. Edited to add: PSYCH!! Now it's going to take 4 upvotes to get super powers. BWAHAHAHA!! Edited to add #2: Just kidding! You're 2 upvotes away again! P.S. Dear friends, I'm sorry. I won't abuse my vast and terrible ability to grant or deny imaginary Internet points ever again. -xf

- SEJeff 10y agoNo, you generally don't get to downvote in HN until your karma is above some threshold that changes occasionally.
- pknerd 10y agoYou need a certain Troll Level.
- joelthelion 10y agoThere is a bug after you undo your vote for the 500th time :)
- martin-adams 10y agoI followed your testing instructions on your comment. Test passed.
- oxryly1 10y agoYou can downvote?? Are you a wizard?
- roflchoppa 10y agowhen does one get down vote power? edit: never mind i read below.
- askafriend 10y agoI can repro this. Thank you for the instructions.
