Consistency is the reason. Seeing downvotes on comments is now consistent with seeing them on posts. It only makes sense to keep the threshold the same. There is no good reason to treat them differently in this regard.
I feel like we're talking different languages. This will be the third time I try to get you to understand I am asking why the requirement is set to level 6. I'm a lurker, it's taken me two years to get to level 3, I'll probably never see level 6 in the next two years because the Government will probably lock down the Internet before then.
Well I promise if you just comment a little here and there you could get there within a week. Level 6 was decided because being able to see this information is a privilege that we wouldn't want to hand over to people who don't care. If you don't care about the platform why would you care?
Declaring what constitutes caring or not is a very bizarre thing to do, and if anything makes me hesitate to contribute further at all if you believe you can decide what caring means for me.
Not trying to pick a fight, just making an observation that your accusation is.. bizarre, and I really have no answer because you don't decide what I care about, how I value what I care about, and what precautions I take on the Internet (or the reasons for that).
It would be like me asking you why you care about how I care about things. It just doesn't make any sense. It's a bad argument. I'm here for my own reasons, just like I have my own reasons for the vehicles I drive, the hobbies I choose, and the life I live.
Level 6 was decided for [post details] by and I.
It was a set that way to motivate new users to participate more.
It's really not that hard to reach it.
Darling, most users get to yellow rather easily. I understand lurkers gain points slower, but that's to be expected. The solution would be to post more.
