There's a reason "downvotes" are called "flags" on HN
- detaro 7y agoNo they are not. Downvotes and flags are different things, and have different rules about them. (Flags mean "this breaks the rules/needs moderator attention", downvotes are a lot more general "negative sentiment") EDIT: downvotes probably aren't available to you yet, NilsIRL, I think the karma threshold is higher (500?).
- DoreenMichele 7y ago^ To be fair, though, the flag button is hidden. You have to click on the comment time stamp to find it. Some people seem unaware of this. It appears to be a minor source of confusion around here.
