- 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.
