  The easier way to hide comments from me would be to use uBlock Origin and create a "My filters" rule with: news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing.comtr:has(a.hnuser):has-text(/\bLinuxBender\b/)

    I think you are misunderstanding what this thread is about. I already stated I knew some folks said it required 500 karma and I never asked to hide comments. I was curious if there is a server side check for downvote. Downvote doesn't even hide your comment, it just takes points away. It is a different function.

      Turning off uBlock I see two downvotes. If you can do that without 500 karma that would be a bug in this site, especially if you can do 2+ downvotes of the same comment using the same account. I don't believe this site has a bug-bounty but you could always ask dang.
