I just don't like how only select members have the ability to downvote. If downvoting exists on the forum all members should be able to do so. imo

- mkr-hn 15y agoI already deal with a lot of mystery downvotes on completely non-offensive comments. I've been stalled at around 1900 for months because every gain I make vanishes without explanation. I don't think opening the floodgates would make things better.
- kls 15y agoI agree, I am able to downvote and I take it seriously, there is a culture with HN and it takes time to understand that culture and customs. I would probably not have been as responsible with downvotes when I was at say 500. I would agree that somewhere after 1500-2000 is probably the sweet spot, I also think any karma from article submissions should be excluded from calculating the ability to downvote, because 1500-2000 can be hit pretty quick if you submit several front page articles.
