I'm still working my way towards earning the downvote! I have been on the site for over 6 years and browse more than I contribute, but I still am shy a little of the 500 karma required. I wonder if there are users with even older accounts than mine that are still active and don't have the karma yet either.
- cjhveal 9y agoFor what it's worth, my account is older by ~7 months and I'm not yet halfway there.
- fnayr 9y agoOkay interesting, I thought I was alone. Guess there's a lot of us "noncontributors" on here haha.
- 5555624 9y agoOr "occasional" contributors. My biggest problem is I am often reading the comments a couple of days later and the discussion is no longer active.
- BrandoElFollito 9y agoThis is a real problem. I noticed that all my (infinitesimal) karma was received on comments which were a few hours old. The brilliant comments which are 1+ day old all went to a blackhole nirvana.
- ojkelly 9y ago7 years without the downvote here. Still got a long way to go.
- babaganoosh89 9y agoHope my upvote gets you a little closer :)

- FuckOffNeemo 9y agoJust over ~2 years and almost half way there for me. I haven't submitted much but occasionally comment around. Glad I'm not the only procrastinator though the allure to be able to down vote trolls is very, very real.
- simlevesque 9y agoI just got it today after five years. I was freaked out at first.
- Theodores 9y agoThink of all the real work you have done in that time. You would not have done it all had you spent 1000+ hours collecting those internet points that none of your real friends care about. You are winning by not being able to downvote yet. EDIT: ...as I up-vote y'all stuck in this thread...
- b3n 9y agoOver a decade of browsing HN nearly every day, and still don't have it yet. One day, maybe. :-)
- jvzr 9y agoJust celebrated my 6 years on HN last month, and a little over half way there myself. Not sure I'm wise enough to downvote correctly though: sometimes I wish to downvote someone because what he said is stupid, but that's not how you use downvotes.
- phaylon 9y agoAlmost 9 years for me without downvoting.
- hungerstrike 9y agoEven before you get the ability to downvote, the fascist regime will stop counting your upvotes if you upvote the wrong comments (ones which have been secretly flagged by the mods). However, if you're careful you can use your upvotes against those comments that you don't like by upvoting everything around them.
- sachleen 9y ago6 years and 3 months and I am not even 1/5th of the way there.
