> There are no down arrows on stories. They appear on comments after users reach a certain karma threshold, but never on direct replies.
What’s the threshold? Can the threshold change?
When last seen it was 501, I think.
Just out of curiosity, did you try searching for the information? It's pretty easy to find:
https://hn.algolia.com/?query=downvote%20threshold&sort=byDa...
Yes down voting on comments start when you reach 501.
There was a recent post about HN's undocumented features: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23439437
I searched google and that brought up the FAQ, where it’s not explicitly stated. I expected it to be there so that prompted the question.
Edit: I’m also kind of a noob here so didn’t know about that search tool. I’ll use that next time. Thanks!
