Dang. I've been on here years looking for a downvote capability. Apparently you need ~500 karma and I have 200. Any upvotes would be greatly appreciated.

- esyir 5y agoYou seem to have missed the point of the up vote requirement for downvotes though. It exists to restrict downvotes to those who are more active, and thus more "invested?". I believe that this was a very deliberately chosen barrier to entry here.
- ypeterholmes 5y agoI definitely did not miss that point. I understand the idea behind a barrier to entry. However I am pretty active. I read HN every day, and I've even written a few submissions, one of which made the front page. So wouldn't you say I'm invested? I just don't comment very often.
