Ask PG: Can't flag or downvote anymore
Just realized I am unable to downvote a comment or flag a post anymore. Is there a change in threshold/policy for that?

- GFischer 15y agoI'm not PG but I remember reading that it was a sliding scale based on the average karma... so if your karma grows slower than the total karma, you might have lost the ability. I can't find the interesting link with the analysis I read it from (it was from around the time PG removed the points), but there's some confirmation here: http://jacquesmattheij.com/The+Unofficial+HN+FAQ#cantdownvote http://jacquesmattheij.com/The+Unofficial+HN+FAQ#cantdownvot...
- chc 15y agoYeah, the thresholds are constantly creeping upward. I don't know what they are now, but I'm pretty sure they're somewhere above 600.
