I can't downvote your comment here on HN, presumably because I don't have enough reputation. And HN doesn't even tell me.

- stingraycharles 5y agoI think you need 100 points in order to downvote. HN generally prefers to upvote good content rather than to downvote bad content.
- r00fus 5y agoIt's a mitigation to the "bury brigade" problem digg used to have. I think a relatively low hurdle is a good balance.
- marcosdumay 5y agoYou can comment without any problem. Downvoting is not the main usage of HN, like answering questions is on SO (or commenting, it's a wonder that they still allow any kind of activity for people without karma, too bad the only allowed activity is making questions, that will be incorrectly marked and downvoted most of the time).
