Ask HN: why can't I downvote?
I've been on HN for a while now, at the time of writing my karma was 380 with an average of 4.25. But for some reason I still can't downvote - why is this? Everything I've read puts the limit to do so around 100 (although it seems like this can vary), is there some other criteria as well?
- jv22222 16y agoI think it was when I hit 500 I got the ability to down vote comments...
- stonemetal 16y agoAs the site grows, the Goal posts move. I think the current limit is about 500. I was at around 480 when it moved to 500 so I know it is at least that high, but I haven't lost the privilege since then so I don't know if it has moved.
- bartonfink 16y agoI just got it at 500, but I have read that the limit changes. What I'm not sure is whether you can lose the privilege as a result of a limit increase.
