So that's why I couldn't downvote even though I have 69 karma!

  As a reminder, downvoting should not occur to express disagreement with a commenter. It's a collective form of moderation for inappropriate comments.

    I've yet to see it being used in any other way.

      I apologize. This is a better link: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171 14 points by pg 354 days ago | link | parent | flag I think it's ok to use the up and down arrows to express agreement. Obviously the uparrows aren't only for applauding politeness, so it seems reasonable that the downarrows aren't only for booing rudeness.
