- Hexstream 18y agoWe can't downvote stories here...
- jmatt 18y agoYou can when you get a high enough karma.
- PieSquared 18y agoReally? What's the number?
- jmatt 18y agoI'm not sure. But I have enough karma at 85. I think the number has changed over time, but I'm not sure. Maybe PG will share it with us or someone has recently hit the magic number?
- rms 18y agoYou sure you don't mean comments?
- jmatt 18y agoYeah my bad, I'm talking about comments.
- iamelgringo 18y agoMy karma's 4700 and I can't downvote stories.
- Hexstream 18y agoI have 867 karma and can't downvote stories. At some point there were talks of letting the top X downvote stories but I don't think it's been done.
- jmatt 18y agoYeah it's calculated. I thought you were talking about comments.
