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.

It is possible for new posters to gain noteriety around here. Look at Kim. She is rapidly gaining sturure around here just by showing not only her curiosity of running a new team and asking alot of questions but also her experince as a mentor from years of participating in FIRST.
Plus you shouldn't come here looking to be "top poster" but to get information about what makes FIRST tick and get information from other memebers in FIRST on what works for them.
None of us joined FIRST because we want to be noted for being a top poster on some messageboard. This is just a tool to use. let's not lose perspective here.
