Long time reader, recently created an account...
I don't see downvote or "flag" buttons. The only button available to me is a "^", which I assume is upvote, but without a downvote or flag button it's very out of context... (edit: Yeah, the on-hover is 'upvote' but there's no downvote or flag).
- DanBC 12y agoClick the timestamp on a post. Do you see a flag option now? Downvoting is available at a karma threshold. I think flags for comments and submissions are always available?
- dang 12y agoNot always, or people would create accounts just to do it. The flag threshold is low, though (30).
- Forbo 12y agoI believe the threshold is higher than that, as I am currently situated at 45 and do not have the option.
- dang 12y agoThen you do have the option. Maybe email us (hn@ycombinator.com) if you're still not seeing it?
- Forbo 11y agoClarification: I have the flag option, but not the down arrow. What is the threshold for the down arrow appear? Sorry for the miscommunication, I had assumed that both functions were enabled at the same threshold.
- arnaudlaudwein 12y agoYes, you only get these options after reaching a certain karma threshold (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)

- ad_hominem 12y agoIf you're a long-time reader you should've known that the downvote button requires a minimum amount of karma. Or at least you'd know that it's inappropriate to derail an HN topic when there are abundant Google results on your question.
