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.

  • So your talking about a system where earlier user's posts have more weight than newer users?
