I'm at 153, and I do not have downvote privileges. The problem is while I do read a lot of HN and actively upvote when it's appropriate, I do not comment much.

I'm at 153, and I do not have downvote privileges. The problem is while I do read a lot of HN and actively upvote when it's appropriate, I do not comment much. I suppose I just have to wait to find an awesomely relevant article and post to get upvotes that way. Though to me, it doesn't matter much to downvote. I would like to occasionally when I see inappropriate comments, but I just usually flag inappropriate submissions.
- brudgers 13y agoThere are many good writers on HN, but the only great submitter that comes to mind is Colinwright, and his eye for articles is probably a byproduct of the fact that he can also author interesting content. One of the great opportunities HN provides is to write something and use the feedback [which may be no upvotes or downvotes] to improve your writing. HN is a great place to learn timing, tone, and how to tailor your message to an audience of readers. The path to higher karma which depends least on luck is posting thoughtful comments.
