Ask HN: What’s the karma threshold for downvote ability
From HN’s FAQ:
> There are no down arrows on stories. They appear on comments after users reach a certain karma threshold, but never on direct replies.
What’s the threshold? Can the threshold change?
- ColinWright 6y agoWhen last seen it was 501, I think. Just out of curiosity, did you try searching for the information? It's pretty easy to find: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=downvote%20threshold&sort=byDate https://hn.algolia.com/?query=downvote%20threshold&sort=byDa...
- headalgorithm 6y agoYes down voting on comments start when you reach 501. There was a recent post about HN's undocumented features: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23439437 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23439437
- hypewatch 6y agoI searched google and that brought up the FAQ, where it’s not explicitly stated. I expected it to be there so that prompted the question. Edit: I’m also kind of a noob here so didn’t know about that search tool. I’ll use that next time. Thanks!
