Newbies can't downvote. There's a karma hurdle to clear before you can downvote, over 200 - I've heard it scales so only the top

I have 420 karma, and I don't have the option to downvote, and I've been on HN for a while.

I looked this up recently, and it looks like it was bumped from 200 to 500 in the last year or so.
