Ask HN: Did downvote requirement change again?
I'm a frequent reader of HN, though I don't comment often. Because of this, it took me a while to get to 200, which at the time was the requirement. It changed shortly after that to 500, and a year or so ago I got to 500 and got the ability to downvote again.
I don't really downvote that often, but this afternoon I saw a message that I thought warranted downvoting (in fact it was already shown in gray text) and proceeded to downvote it. I then saw that the down arrows were not showing for me anymore.
This is a new article (on the Front Page as of this writing) and I verified I was logged in, so my conclusion was that the downvote threshold changed again. What's the requirement now? Since when did it change? Is there a page which details these requirements?
