- thaumaturgy 16y agoI disagree; as long as Reddit discussions don't become a daily habit here, occasionally posting an interesting thread -- which this one was -- is not really any different from linking to any other site with an interesting discussion.
- b-e-p 16y agoWhy do I see posts with negative or zero points if there is no downvote button?
- kxs 16y agoyou need a certain karma level to be able to downvote edit: it used to be 100, I dont know if its still the current threshold
- Ardit20 16y agoI think it is more complicated than that. I see for example posters I can down vote and other posters I can not.
- petercooper 16y agoThis probably isn't the full picture, but you can't vote down comments left directly in response to your own comments (for obvious reasons), nor can you vote down comments over a certain age or that are already of a very low score.
- johnfn 16y agoI just got downvoting at around 200 karma.
- b-e-p 16y agoAh, ok thanks. Is there a way I can see unread replies to my comments without having to manually go to all the comments I've seen?
- code_duck 16y agoYou need to first be blessed by the Holy Spirit, aka Paul Graham. Otherwise, you might even see the buttons, but your votes have no effect because you're an Outcast.
- petercooper 16y agoOr TechCrunch posts, or PDFs, or self-posts, or posts about the iPad. If people didn't post all of the types of content people complain about, HN would be empty indeed.
- rtra 16y agoThe origin of the content is irrelevant, and personally, I'm very grateful for having some bits of filtered reddit.
