× Hi! It looks like you are new around here. Welcome to Voat!

In order to be able to downvote comments or submissions you need to have at least 100 comment contribution points.



Every time someone upvotes a comment that you wrote, you gain 1 comment contribution point.



Your comment contribution points are shown in the upper right corner like so: (14|2).

The first number (in this case 14), represents submission contribution points (links that you have submitted or discussions that you started).

The second number, in this case 2, represents your comment contribution points.



Tip: a good way to earn more contribution points is to take part in discussions or say hi in /v/introductions.



This requirement was established as a measure to encourage new members to get involved and participate in discussions.
