I always assumed there WAS downvoting for a submission once you hit a certain threshold of user karma. Like flagging and other community moderating functions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
