Are you really sure? To the best of my knowledge, your karma total determines the ability to downvote/flag.
(Note that the required karma total is periodically raised, perhaps the threshold got raised above your current karma at some point in the past? ISTR that it last got raised about a year ago.)
- chris_dcosta 15y agoWhat are you asking about? Am I sure about what? I feel certain that pg posted a comment a while ago mentioning that he had re-worked the algorithm and that an average below 2 meant your upvote did not get counted. I can't find that thread though, but I expect others will explain it better, although I would not expact the algorithm to be posted.
- ImprovedSilence 15y agoHmm... It'd be interesting to know the "rules" to this karma thing, although I suppose not knowing them prevents gaming the system. My karma is above 2, but I haven't been able to downvote something for months. I guess I just downvoted the wrong person/article?
