Also I believe you cannot down-vote comments you reply to or that reply to you or something of the sort. That is to avoid flame wars.

I think the grandparent (xatax) is being far too timid, I am sure 221 karma is enough to do anything on here that any other non-moderator is allowed to do.

Odd, I didn't think the post I referred to was that old.

I guess it also makes sense not to have submission downvotes, since the really bad posts will just get killed, and the iffy posts just won't get enough points to get very visible.

Thanks for the explanation.
