When I get zapped on an old comment, I travel back in time to the moment I wrote it.
@elvismercury linked to some old threads that you were on and it earned both of you some belated zaps from me.
Do you have any thoughts about how the rewards system would ideally handle this sort of thing?
reply
I want to know too!

I think the move is to create something like a ‘weightedZapTime’ on items and use that to do rewards. It should probably be more complex than a weighted average, biasing toward recent zaps, but you get the idea.
We should also use it to rank items so that old content can get back on the front page.
Perhaps it can all be part of an evergreenify chunk of work like referrals.

Could it be as simple as just starting the clock over every day, after a week or so, for what's considered an early zap?
I'm sure the answer's "no", but maybe that's something to work off of.

It sure is a time capsule.
Do those emotions linger long or are fleeting because of the current things occupying your mind?
