What’s the karma threshold for downvote ability


From HN’s FAQ:

> There are no down arrows on stories. They appear on comments after users reach a certain karma threshold, but never on direct replies.

What’s the threshold? Can the threshold change?

When last seen it was 501, I think.

Just out of curiosity, did you try searching for the information? It's pretty easy to find:
