Ask HN: How much karma is needed to downvote?
Not that I have the urge to, but I was just curious how many points are needed to down vote comments these days?
According to this http://apps.ycombinator.com/item?id=745206 it's 200, but I'm still not blessed...
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoFrom memory, a few weeks ago it was upped to 500, I think. I'll see if I can find the item.
