Tell HN: The down arrow is for downmodding, not downvoting.

1 pointsafriend4lyfe11y ago1 comments

If users are going to use the downmod button on comments as a disagree button then all accounts should have the ability to "disagree". Otherwise, please don't allow users to abuse the privilege.

I recently made 2 comments, which i thought were constructive, only to have them both downmodded because another user with more karma didn't agree with them.

Thanks

Obviously, some people here thought your comments were not constructive/interesting/etc and downvoted them. They have every right to do so. Whether you agree with their judgment or not is not the point of the system.
