Yeah, I spend way too much time on this site :-)
Being on HN (no matter how much time you spend here) is probably one of the best learning experiences and ways to invest your time there is. My daily reading list is usually just about exhausted by the time I go to bed, if HN gets any bigger I'll have to get more selective about what I read. So much interesting stuff gets posted here.
do you mean topics or comments? I can't downvote topics. [3446 karma]

Thanks for that.
63... correction 61 points to go. It's probably a reflection of the size of HN. The more popular it gets the more people are flowing in at the bottom, to keep the place from descending into mayhem the karma thresholds can be ratcheted up. 200 still seems pretty low though.
200 doesn't seem too difficult, it just appeared strange that when I finally got there it disappeared 2 days later.

Comments, can anyone downvote topics? I didn't know that was even possible.
Given the format (that voting for topics is "saving") it wouldn't really makes sense for that to be enabled.
As someone else said, if a topic is broken -- spam, stupid or otherwise useless -- it should be flagged appropriately. My two cents, or probably about six cents worth 1 cent in 1987 values.
Downvoting is pointless. It encourages mass retribution against unpopular but valid topics. As someone else said, if a topic is broken -- spam, stupid or otherwise useless -- it should be flagged appropriately. My two cents, or probably about six cents worth 1 cent in 1987 values.
Seriously, while down votes are needed sometimes, I think they are overused. I often see a legitimate comment voted down because someone apparently disagrees with its contents. This is not what down votes are for.
