I for one am for an 7 day reward period as this should allow more posts being displayed for longer. Before being sent to "The Graveyard" hence giving more value to readers and showing more accurately our community values. I have previously asked that the 30day payout-period-posts not lose their "Rank" but rather be Featured such as a Magazine type website. Perhaps with a more "Full page" compared to the current single file graphical representation. I fully believe that the fact that some brilliant post that only lives for 24H is the sole cause we have not yet reached our goal audience. Or at least 100 000 active accounts regarding votes(curating) And preferably not via bots or "copy-cats" of other users but Individual and sincere actions. Otherwise, this site could very easily become brainless. In my opinion, the reputation system should also be questioned and altered with math to more correctly interpret our communities opinions. Our new weighing system could use an ELO system or and Avg. of the current users, and target (a number? ) 25 with the maximum of 75 as we have now. Systematically reducing or increase the reputation of users would then vary based on the systems total change/weight.
