What's a "user downmod"?


A user downmod is when someone pushes the "upside down triangle" next to a person's name and/or point score for a particular post, or, in some other way decrements a person's "karma".


Charming!


?

Edit: Know where I can find the feed of user downmods?


Theres no list of either "upmods" or "downmods". Think about the frequency that feed would be updated.


Karma is just mutable state with no backing event log?

Edit: I would also settle for a live stream of events; don't need the full history, if it doesn't exist.


What other people upvote or downvote on HN is really none of your business.


That's an opinion, I suppose.

When downmods serve to censor my content, they become my business. I don't know where you pulled 'upvote' from, though; I'm not sure there is much value in knowing them.

Edit: Someone is getting a feed of something...or they are just furiously refreshing this thread. hehe


Lots of downmods and zero answers in this thread. Classy.
