I've been wondering for awhile now how some comments on HN become greyed out. Is there a downvote or report button?<p>I'm also having a suspicion that the [-] button on the right, which I've been using to collapse threads, might be the one. Either way, I find HN's UX confusing.
By the way I think that this downvote button is really a bad feature that brings negativity.<p>Don't like a post? Just ignore and don't upvote it!
> There are no down arrows on stories. They appear on comments after users reach a certain karma threshold, but never on direct replies.<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html</a>
