AFAIK you need 500 points to unlock "downvote" functionality.
- dotcoma 8y agoThat's a urban legend. I have over 1,800 points, and there's no downvote to be seen.
- m-p-3 8y agoI have 530 and I see a downvote arrows on comments, which I don't recall seeing before.
- agumonkey 8y agoI see no downvote on articles. I do see downvote on some comments (not all). The rules seem subtle.
- gambiting 8y agoI have 7500 karma and I have downvote for comments, but not for articles. I only can't downvotes comments that are replies to my own comments(which I think is smart and is something that reddit should copy).
- quickthrower2 8y agoThe pattern I see is no downvotes to replies to YOUR comment (e.g. this one), and no downvotes once the comment is about 2 days old-ish.
- Tomte 8y agoThere is no downvoting for articles, independent of karma, that‘s correct.
- kazinator 8y agoQuite consistently: no downvote button on comments more than 24 hours old; no downvote button on comments that are followups to your own comment. Submissions don't have downvoting, but you can flag them.
- Smirnoff 8y agoI believe HN takes a holistic approach and takes other criteria into consideration. My downvote button was activated after my karma reached 500.
