I've been a Hacker News user since August 2007, and I still don't have the ability to downvote. For many many years I didn't even know it was possible to downvote.
I guess I'm not posting enough, but I didn't really feel any need to obtain the karma even after learning about downvoting was a thing. After reading this, I feel more obligated to get above the threshold and help weeding out in the comments.
- majkinetor 6y agoYou need around 500 karma.
- gnulinux 6y agoI think you need exactly 501. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
- majkinetor 6y agoI dont know, who cares :) There also seem to be 2 treasholds - one for topic and one for users.
- gus_massa 6y agoNote that the highlighted comment was already downvoted, flagged and with a warning comment by the mods. Try to upvote good comments, and unjustly downvoted comments. You need 501 points to downvote. Here you get one! Try to use the downvote button wisely when you get the ability.
