Ask HN: What happens when you hit 1000 karma?

1 pointjunto3 comments

More specifically, is there a break down somewhere of the features that unlock as you hit different karma levels on HN?

Nothing.

You get the downvote at 500.

Nothing happens after that to my knowledge.

P.S Can we please put up a FAQ? I've answered this question at least three times.

Check the footer.

Thanks.

So in summary 500 gives you access to downvotes. It doesn't get any deeper than that unless your username is 'pg'.
