Ask HN: Reputation systems that balance incumbency
Are there any internet based reputation systems where value/rank/weight is influenced by time?
For example articles at HN have a time weight due to chronological ordering but a time effect doesn't apply to user weighting.
I'm asking about this for broader applications and not so much to determine if one way is better than the other.
- sharemywin 11y agoSo your talking about a system where earlier user's posts have more weight than newer users?
- cyphunk 11y agoPerhaps? I'm looking for systems that attempt to address such perceived advantages. Perhaps this example is clearer: A system where user reputation tapers off over time. This would impact the early adopter advantage. This would probably be a bad idea for many online communities but perhaps not all. In general I'm interested in any system that has a different model then the traditional vanilla up button / like accumulative system.
