That's the point. Those people who continue to post well will rise to he top. But so will those people who just started and posted just as well.
Look at it this way, in the upcoming year it will be twice as hard for a new member to break into the ranks of the top posters. In 5 years it will be 5 times as hard.
I suggested these two methods because I think it would be fairly simple for Brandon (or even another CD programmer that knows mysql) to implement it before kickoff. I like Ken's suggestion of archiving reputation, and I really like Kevin and Steve's suggestions about tying it to the number of posts or rolling it off as time progresses.
However it is to be done, I think something should be done before January 8th.
