> Where's the disconnect? Nobody can downvote articles. Also, TC's journalism isn't usually just MA stirring up drama. The average TC article on HN simply profiles a new startup, or service, or acquisition.

just wondering - if nobody can downvote, how is it than some trollish stories end up at 0 or negative numbers?

  Never seen a negative story, but I have seen stories removed, which is done by an admin (i think) after it gets a few 'flags'

    you're right, i've never seen a story but i've seen comments that are at 0 or negative. I assume that there are a bunch of moderators that can downvote?

      Anyone with 101 or more karma can downvote comments.
