Do you recall the time when one needed a certain karma score in order to downvote?

I never downvote, but there are times when I wanted to - but couldnt, even though I am way beyond the initial karma limit which was ~400 or something...

I've been on this site daily for 15 years.

I still never feel the need to upvote or downvote very often.

I also think its criminally funny that the HN forum lacks so many features of moderation, comment management, topic curation etc of even such of the companies they fund.

It works - because its a self-entrenched psuedo-sapio-walled-garden...

I love HN - but lets not act like its flawless.
