- kyrra 12y agoYa, I thought about after I wrote it. Though I believe you can only downvote comments not stories on HN.
- buckbova 12y agoYou flag posts and they'll drop in the rankings, sometimes right off the front page.
- hayksaakian 12y agoi think the distinction in UX is important downvote sounds like the opposite of upvote flagging sounds like a reporting mechanism they actually do the same thing, but they give totally different impressions to new users.

- ivanca 12y agoThere is another state: vote-banned, like me; basically you see the up/down arrows in every comment but they do nothing at all (upvoting submissions do works).
