...there are downvotes in HN!?
- 1123581321 6y agoYou’ll get the ability to downvote when you reach about 500 karma.
- d0100 6y agoOnly for the 1%
- whoisjuan 6y agoYeah. Once you’re above a certain level of karma points you can downvote. I can downvote but rarely do it. Also a comment can only be downvoted 4 times. After that downvotes are not counted anymore if I remember correctly.
- marcosdumay 6y agoI've had comments voted lower than -3 (you start at 1) plenty of times. My favorite one is one comment criticizing Microsoft that oscillated from 25 to -10 a few years back (yeah, I refreshed this one quite a lot to see how it changed, that was fun). But I don't remember anything lower than that recently, so it can be a new change.
- saagarjha 6y ago5 times, the lowest you can go is -4.
- stjo 6y agoThere are tons of hidden HN features unlocked at different thresholds. https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented 501 karma for downvoting
- scubbo 6y agoOh wow. I lurk 99% of the time, so I doubt I'll ever reach those heady heights. Thanks for the link, though!
