I was under the impression you aren't able to downvote on this site. In the same way this site is Reddit except the fact you can't react negatively to anything (downvote), we now need to do the same for comments.
You either upvote or you do nothing. You either comment positively or you don't comment. Excellent job patio.

You can downvote comments, assuming you have enough karma (100? 500? something like that). You can't downvote stories themselves, however.
I believe the threshold is 400 karma
I keep hearing 500. It used to be 200.

As someone with 408 karma, I suspect 500 is probably more accurate.

Edit 1: For whatever reason, this comment seems to be a battleground. Been upvoted & downvoted so many times. Guess this comment symbolizes the struggle for those of us interested in preserving the quality of the community we have come to love, and with those that just love to downvote willy nilly.
