Ask HN: Why is there no downvote button in HN?
There should be a downvote button.
- slater 3y agoThere is on individual comments (you need a certain amount of karma points first, tho), but I think it's lacking on posts to prevent brigading.
- gus_massa 3y agoI agree. More info. There is an unofficial list of undocumented HN features maintained by minimaxir https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented @OP: You need 501 karma to see the downvote button. Use it wisely.
