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 n users can do so.



I got the ability recently at 500.


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.


I should've written "somewhere over 200," just speaking from my experience.
