Comment on Ask HN: What unlocks with karma, and when?

Comments

20 karma – downvote comments.

200 karma – make polls (http://news.ycombinator.com/newpoll).

250 karma – customize the top bar background color.

??? karma – flag posts and comments (on their individual page).

Your numbers are wrong. They are changed by the management over time to account for karma inflation. http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aycombinator.com+%22kar...

Recent karma-threshold schedule:

  10 karma - Upvote comments.
  51 karma - Downvote comments. Flag comments.

I think the 20 limit is wrong, since I'm past that and still can't downvote comments.

Flagging is much lower; somewhere in the 100s.

It's 51, the same as downvote.

It has to be. I have 206 and can flag.

I think the limit for comments down-voting is 75 (or a number close to 75).

I have 47 and cannot downvote.I can flag since around my twenties thought.

Your data is old and out of date. Your Karma 20's arrived almost a year ago. http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=rodrigo

I just created a poll with karma of 196

I created one with a karma of 150, so it has got to be way lower than 200.
