You're likely being downvoted simply because the comment adds nothing to the discussion. Up/down votes (points) help the most relevant and useful comments rise to the top of the page so users down't need to scroll through to find useful content.
- ZainRiz 10y agoSide question: what does it take to be able to down vote a post? I'm guessing it's some sort of reputation threshold, but whatever the value is it's higher than 140
- grzm 10y agoThere is no downvote for submissions; only flagging. There is a karma threshold for flagging: I think it's 200, but don't hold me to it. Edit to add: Sorry, I misread post to mean submission, not comment. Sibling is correct: downvoting for comments is enabled when you earn your 501st point.
- goodJobWalrus 10y agoI got the privilege to downvote when I passed 500 a few months ago.
