I don't even see a downvote button. When I came here first I thought nice you can only upvote here, so the community must be nice. Got down voted pretty quickly. What does even green username mean?
- comex 12y agoIt means you're "green", in the sense of young or inexperienced - i.e. a relatively new account.
- Chichikov 12y agoHuh. Cool. I just kind of figured I'd stumble across an answer to that one and here I am. Makes good sense too. Thanks. Hey, here's a question, why does the comment reply link sometimes not render until I refresh the page? Are they on a timer or something?
- cdcarter 12y agoYes, if a thread is gaining posts too quickly, HN will suppress reply buttons to try and prevent people from making hasty/not well thought out posts.
- engi_nerd 12y agoFrom some discussion earlier today, you must have a collective score of 500 upvotes before you have the ability to downvote. I would guess that is to enforce a period where new accounts can get used to the generally accepted standards for discussion here.
- chrisper 12y agoThanks. I had 7 but now I have 5... lol
