I've been wondering about the point system too... Lots of comments have negative points, but I don't see how to downvote. Does downvoting require a certain amount of karma?

Yes, I think it's like 25 before you can downvote comments.

I am on 25 and I cannot down vote comments. Is karma rating the only mechanism for restricting this?

It's increased, I was hovering at 43 or so, without a down vote button. But then my karma jumped up to 73, and I can.
