Out of curiosity, is there a karma threshold for downvoting stories, or is downvoting stories not enabled on hackernews at all? I don't think this piece adds anything to hackernews other than more flamebait, but I'm hesitant to flag it since it's not spam.

- WillyF 16y agoThat article says that there is downvoting, but that there is a "karma threshold." The article states that it is 100, but I have over 100 points and no downvote arrows, so it must be higher.
- ptomato 16y agoI believe it is 150 now. There's still no down voting on articles, however, only on comments.
- telemachos 16y agoThere was a discussion about this recently, though I can't find it just now. There is no downvoting, and, as I understand HN's etiquette, you should not flag a story just because you don't like it.
