I have 10K+ and don't have either feature, so probably trolling.
The only milestone I remember hitting was downvoting, around 500.
(Then again, I also have never had flagging power either - I know people get this removed sometimes, but I don't remember ever having had it. Weird).
- Macha 13y agoI have flagging, but nowadays to get it on a comment you need to click the permalink button on a post to get it. And I'm glad of that, because up until now I've sent in 1 legitimate, intentional report and 10 or so cases of fat fingering the button on a mobile device (not catastrophic because of the unflag option, but still...)
- eli 13y agoHuh, I never noticed the flagging on comments before.
- hpvic03 13y agoAre you able to downvote? I'm curious what the karma threshold is for that.
- thedufer 13y agoIt was 500 when I hit it, but occasionally goes up. Not sure what it is now.
- alecsmart1 13y agoWhat algorithm are they using? Is the source open?
- Crito 13y agoHN is in fact open source (an older version of it anyway): http://arclanguage.org/ http://arclanguage.org/ However much of the "secret sauce" is, well, secret.
- namenotrequired 13y agoI hit it at 500 a few weeks ago. Ok, not sure exactly but definitely not more than 510 :)
- zoba 13y agoI just hit comment down voting within the past few karma. So around 775
- berberous 13y ago500 is often reported but is incorrect. As of today, it appears to be 501.
- jaredsohn 13y ago711 days ago, when there was a thread about karma levels and I just hit 500, I encountered the same phenomenon. I received a response saying that you don't get to downvote threads created prior to crossing 500. (Obviously, can't verify that, but here's the thread for context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3812967 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3812967)
