| I have not hit it yet, if there is one. Only options are upvoting, flagging, etc. |

| (Open question to anyone reading this) I've been meaning to ask for quite a while now: What exactly is "flag" supposed to indicate? I assume it's something more specific than "dislike". I take it to mean something along the lines of, "I think this is (sneaky) spam", or "This does not fit on a technology news site, even tangentially.". Or, perhaps something broader like, "I can't describe what the problem is, but this submission/comment should be reviewed by a moderator." It's just never been particularly clear what the intention of it is. |

Frivolous flagging—e.g. flagging a story that's clearly on-topic by the site guidelines just because one personally dislikes it—eventually gets an account's flagging privileges taken away. But there's a new 'hide' link for people to click if they'd just like not to see a story. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12173809 | | |

| FWIW: I have over 135K karma and I can't downvote submissions. |

| This is correct. A user is permitted to downvote stories after reaching 1000 karma. |
