The idea I pitched k00b for this is that after a post drops out of top status, the next person who zaps it resets the early clock. If it doesn't make it back to top status that day, then it would start over with the next person to zap it.

A post like the Trump assassination attempt would probably remain a top post for a few days and then each big revelation might get it back into top status.

Yeah that’s kind of what I was getting at with “new”. Does it get more weighting in the rewards algo and how is that balanced if it is a post as you describe like the Trump assassination attempt that is getting edited repeatedly to add new info.

I'm not sure about "new". I like the idea of it going to the top of recent after being edited, though.

Something I've talked to k00b about a bit is how to reset the early zapping clock, so that there's always an incentive (other than human decency) to zap posts that you like.

Feature Idea: Wiki post types

Would the post be considered new anytime it got edited?
