All the world's a stage, even hacker news. Go for it - it will get downmoded if its junk, as hacker news is one of the few bullshit freezones left.

Submissions can be downmodded. This ability is limited to senior members of the community, as measured by karma score. When you are logged in, your karma score is in parentheses next to your user name, upper right corner of the screen.

I was at one point #2 in karma score and have never been able to downmod submissions.

There's a karma threshold for downmodding comments.
