Ask HN: New to HN's and have some questions
First is there a FAQ somewhere?
This may be answered in such a FAQ; if so I apologize in advance.
I've been a member of this fine community now for a couple of weeks. In my reading of comments I've noticed some remarks talking about down voting. How does one do this? I only see an up-vote arrow, nothing seems obvious to me on how to down-vote an article, that doesn't seem to mesh with Hackers News culture.
Thanks.

- danielamitay 16y agoFAQ: http://ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html http://ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html On down voting: (From FAQ) Q: Why don't I see down arrows? A: There are no down arrows on submissions. They only appear on comments after users reach a certain karma threshold.
