  You need to reach a certain karma threshold, I don't remember the exact value.

  You need to have more karma points on your profile. The downvote privilege has been at around 500 karma points (for a long time). That point is only the threshold, and the privilege is granted after going above that threshold. But it supposedly increases over time. The Unofficial Hacker News FAQ [1] has a lot more information.

  After users reach 501 Karma, they gain the ability to downvote another comment You can read more about undocumented features of Hacker News here [1]. [1] https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented
