No, links can't be downvoted. Only comments can be. At the least, I am around 700 Karma, and I can't.

- georgemcbay 14y agoI'm at 7274 karma and I can't downvote links either. So either the karma limit is very high or it doesn't exist. In any case, I don't think article downvotes would serve much use, articles nobody is interested in will naturally fall off due to lack of upvotes.
- pbhjpbhj 14y agoIsn't the problem that you lose some signal with the noise that way. You're not filtering out the chaff, you're skimming off the top level of grain. If a submission is poorly titled then it will appear to be chaff [rubbish] when in fact it was grain [beneficial].
