Karma. To me karma is something that should ebb and flow according to recent participation history.
Its no good having all 250,000 (public) lines counted forever. It should be a bonus added over a window - something like 3 months or so. The same could occur for itT participation. As people come and go and are involved their scores track whats been happening to them, and if I stop participating in irc my karma bonus should drop off and eventually return to its natural level based on real contributions.
