It might be interesting to try a decay function on the leader board.
Now, it's probably not cool to take away karma points, but it would reward activity. Plus, it'll get around the issue of single posters who post a single ridiculously popular post. They would have their hayday in karma but then slide back in the rankings in favor of the regulars.
- danw 20y agoThe karma of active users would continue to rise whilst the dead users stay steady and eventually get overtaken. Perhaps a 'most karma in the past week' leader board would work?
