Huh, I never realized that "maximum awesomness" was synonymous with "basic functionality".

  Veterans of Hacker News - why am I not allowed to down vote?
  • spacemanaki 14y ago
    There's a karma threshold before you're allowed to downvote.
    • Jgrubb 14y ago
      Could you tell me what that number is?
      • saraid216 14y ago
        It goes up over time. Right now it's around 500.
        • jacques_chester 14y ago
          For comments or posts?
          • saraid216 14y ago
            Comments. I believe the threshold for flagging submissions is 1000, but I'm not sure; I didn't notice when I hit it. You cannot downvote submissions.

              Flagging is considerably lower, this account can flag comments and submissions so I think ~20 karma is required to flag.
  • mcrider 14y ago
    Your karma must be above 500.

    So you want to downvote his objection on the over hype in the blog?
    • Jgrubb 14y ago
      No, I want to down vote comments that only serve to project a vague superiority vibe and don't add anything to the conversation.
      • ww520 14y ago
        Pointing out a blog post overhyped is useful.
        • Jgrubb 14y ago
          Fair enough. That's not what I took from the comment though.
