Privileged users have the opportunity to give their negative opinion on your comment without having to explain themselves...this not only downgrades your comment but also your karma, giving a double-whammy hammer to those privileged users
- ulrischa 3y agoSo for one point up I need two upvotes but for one point down one downvote?
- brudgers 3y agoNo. If someone downvotes your comment you lose one point up to a maximum of five points (from 1 to -4). If someone upvotes your comment, you get one point with no cap (modulo voting ring prevention, computational limitations, and the passage of time). Points for stories tend to work differently, but since stories can't be downvoted, they aren't relevant here.
- mindcrime 3y ago> Privileged users are nothing more than users who have managed to rack up 500+ karma (unless the threshold has changed since I last thought about this). Anyway, it shouldn't take long for anybody making interesting and informative comments, and/or submitting interesting stories, to get to 500. So the pool of "privileged users" is probably a very large percentage of all active users.
- pestatije 3y agoit doesnt matter how they get there...the issue is some random guy has the privilege to say meh to my comments without further explanation
