Is there a way to see if I can vote both ways?

A month or so ago I started to get errors saying I can't downvote. I don't really care that much (it's not me that's gaining from my vote), but if I can't downvote I want to make sure I don't upvote so I don't bias things.

Your downvotes are limited by your karma (I think it's four downvotes to a karma point). I don't think you will meaningfully bias anything if you continue to upvote things you like while accumulating enough karma to downvote again.

That they are, even when everything works perfectly. There was also an error a while ago that gave the same error message to (some?) people who were not at their limit.

Yeah it's the principle. I guess I'll just try a down before I up going forward. Thanks Al

I had those too. It stopped rather quickly.
