why?
- googlya 10y agoI don't know why my comment was downvoted, but it was a genuine question to understand the purpose of the project.
- pd4d10 10y agoIs there a down vote button here? I see only the up vote. It is hard to say what the purpose is. At first I do this just for fun. Maybe you could consider it as a trial to use CSS to simulate native UI, although not perfectly.
- grzm 10y agoThere's a minimum number of karma needed (20 I think) to be able to downvote.
- notriddle 10y agoI have >20 karma and can't downvote.
- grzm 10y agoIf you can't downvote at all, then I likely have the threshold wrong. This thread makes me think it's 200 or 500. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8381148 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8381148 Two other factors I know of are: - You can't downvote a response to a comment you posted - You can't downvote comments after a certain interval (24 hours?) -
- grzm 10y agoLikely because just "why?" can come off as flip rather than indicating actual interest. Text-only forums can make it hard to show where you're coming from with such a short response. Perhaps if you include a reason why you think it might be a bad idea, or speculate what might motivate their effort it would show your interest.
