I'm at 147 and no down vote. I think he has it backwards? I had heard somewhere else 200 was the magic number for comments.

Yes, you need a karma of 200+ to be able to downvote. Reached that just a few weeks ago. You can only downvote comments which were made after you reached the treshhold.

  Only partially true - nobody can downvote comments after a certain amount of time. I'm not sure if it's 12 or 24 hours; but it's a fairly short window.

    24 hours. edit: proof: http://pics.ww.com/d/425306-1/downvote-cutoff.png http://pics.ww.com/d/425306-1/downvote-cutoff.png That's the 'comments' list.

      Ah. Thanks for pointing that out.

Ok, thanks I've updated that. Anybody have a hard number for the 'flag' option?

  Is this flagging comments or flagging submissions? I'm just over 100 and I can flag submissions but not comments.
  - jacquesm 16y ago
    Submissions, I never realized there was a separate threshold for comments, I'll amend the text, thanks. Now of course the next question is if anybody knows that the threshold is for flagging comments?

      I've been curious about this for a while now. I'm at 192 right now. If I reach 200 while I can still reply to this thread, I'll post about it.

        At 205 karma, I can see the arrows for downvoting now. The flag for comments had been available before, but like eogas, I didn't know how to access them.
    - eogas 16y ago
      It looks like I'm such an HN newbie that I didn't know you have to actually visit the individual comment page to flag it. So they're probably are both the same. And they're probably both 100 or less.
    - tnorthcutt 16y ago
      It is less than or equal to 92 (my current karma).

    Are you sure? You have to click on the "link" for the comment and flag from there.
    - eogas 16y ago
      Ah! You are correct. Sorry for the confusion. So they're both 100 or less I guess.
