On a similar note, I haven't been able to flag comments/articles for a while. It seems that HN occasionally removes privileges when it thinks that they're being abused, though I have no clue what condition caused it to stop you from commenting while still allowing you to submit articles - nothing like the typical hellban.
Also, an average karma of 1.5 means that you get an average of half an upvote per comment, not that 2 out of 3 voters upmod it.
- JoachimSchipper 15y agoThe karma needed to flag/downvote goes up as karma becomes easier to get (HN's growing number of users means a growing number of upvotes). The minimum karma most likely just passed your current karma - you'll get the ability to flag back as soon as you get a few more upvotes. (This doesn't necessarily make sense, but it probably is what happened.)
- sorbus 15y agoAh, of course - hadn't even thought of that. I'm still able to downvote comments, though, so that suggests that the karma thresholds for downvoting and flagging are different, with the karma required for flagging above 1700.
