I'm asking about a particular post. If a post has got say 10 points, how many people should have upvoted it?

• jonlucc 12y ago
  Roughly ten more people than downvoted it.

    I thought we were discussing a "top-level" post rather than a comment. Do super-high-karma people get to downvote posts?

      Yes. you need a minimum of 500 karma to downvote posts or comments.
      • valarauca1 12y ago
        450 karma to down vote comments. I'm unsure of the value to down-vote links, its >930 based on the fact that I can't and I have 930 karma.

          As 30thElement said: There are no down arrows on submissions. They only appear on comments after users reach a certain karma threshold.

        Not quite, I have >500 karma but only see downvote links for comments. I've never come across a post with a negative score.
        • ctdonath 12y ago
          Exactly. Comments can be down voted; articles/links cannot.

        From the FAQ: Why don't I see down arrows? There are no down arrows on submissions. They only appear on comments after users reach a certain karma threshold.

      No, there is no downvote for posts. Flagging is supposed to take the place of that, but only for posts that violate the rules. From the FAQ There are no down arrows on submissions. They only appear on comments after users reach a certain karma threshold.
