I wish I could downvote submissions that are only xitter links. Do you ever get enough karma on HN to be able to downvote submissions? Seems they can only be upvoted.
Submissions do not have downvotes. Some people use the flag feature as a sort of super-downvote.
Yeah but don't do this. Flagging is not a downvote, its intended to mark an item for review. Using it as a downvote leads to losing the ability to flag.
i didnt know that. is there a guide as to what should or should not qualify for flag?
