Uhmm... we have a voting system here at Hacker News. If you don't like stories you can vote them down, just like everyone else.

Actually you can't vote stories down just flag them.
Actually flagging stories is supposed to be for reporting spam, not for saying that you disapprove of them.
what rank do you need to have to down vote something?

I would like an answer to this. There's all this talk of down-voting submissions and user comments but i don't have this option.
I think flagging submissions is 100 or 150, and downvoting comments is 200. One can't downvote submissions, only flagging.
Flagging is under 100; I'm able to right now, at 81, and have been able to for a while. Perhaps 50 or 75? I don't recall exactly when it showed up.
Okay, maybe it's 50 then, can't remember. I'm also wondering when topcolor becomes available. I have 250 right now, and I thought that the threshold for topcolor was 250 but I guess not.
