Ask HN: What are the karma milestones on HN?

4 pointshorsehead4 comments

It seems if you've got less than 100 karma you cannot delete your posts/comments. I think I read that if you have more than 500 karma you can downvote. Are there other karma milestones and corresponding privileges?

A question from me too. what is the karma required to post links? I have been trying for weeks but for no avail.

You just go to "submit," type in the title you'd like your post to have, then paste the link in the link field. Clicking up arrows gives karma, i believe. It also saves stories (if you go to your profile, you can click on 'saved stories' or something like that and see links you've saved)

I believe you need 2 karma to post links (to avoid bots probably). I've upvoted your comment so I think you'll be able to post links now.

Thanks. I acan post links now.
