Hn rarely allows people to downvote,only after you become an active member for many years

And im sure this was designed in order to encourage positive discussion

There is no longer a downvote on submissions.

Do you know the reason? Allowing down voting on comments but not on submissions?

This could be a false memory, but I think it’s the idea that the submission downvotes should be reserved for things that break the rules, and in that case, the post should be flagged instead.

Shouldn’t that be the case for comments too then?

As for the ability to downvote comments, my understanding is that the only requirement is having at least 500 karma.
