What is the karma threshold for downvoting?
- ColinWright 11y agoLast adjustment I saw was to 500. Why do you ask? Is it just idle curiosity, or is there something you think should be downvoted? It's worth saying again that only comments can be downvoted, never submissions.
- jklein11 11y agoThanks for the answer! It was really just idle curiosity.
- jklein11 11y agoAnyone care to speculate as to why only comments can be downvoted?
- starshadowx2 11y ago"Good"/useful submissions will (hopefully) get upvoted anyways, so there isn't really a need to downvote the "bad" ones. It could also be considered a deterrent for new users who are still learning what is "good" to submit, or it could be used for an automatic downvote bot or something.
- jklein11 11y agoCouldn't the same thing be said about good/useful comments?
