A few weeks ago I recently obtained the downvote ability at 500 karma.

I suspect you mean 501. I reached 500 a few weeks ago, and left it there for a while... it was such a nice, round number.

Can I suggest 512 for an even nicer round number.

Sorry upvoted you, onwards to the next round number.

^ This is correct. I was equally confused when mine hit 500 and downvote wasn't there.

Presumably somewhere in the HN code you would find `karma > KARMA_THRESHOLD_DOWNVOTE`.

More likely (> karma downvote-threshold) since news.arc is written in, well, arc.

Sure. I should have disclaimed my pseudo-code I guess. Point was just that I expect there's a > and a 500, as opposed to a 501.

What did you do to get to 500? I am still at 84 and feels like it will be forever.
