Your reputation in this community is what this community thinks about you due to the experiences that they've had with you.
However, people change, people's opinions change, and sometimes they leave.
There's a reason why eBay doesn't count feedback ratings which are over 12 months old.
If someone pisses you off and you say something out of line, they leave negative reputation on you, and then leave the forum never to come back and allow you the chance to improve their opinion of you, are you screwed?
Likewise, are the reputation totals of people who happen to have been here longer supposed to grow infinitely? Setting highs that can never possibly be reached by those who are involved in the present, but weren't able to be active in the past, when the market was different, when the community was different, making competition between older and newer members time biased?
Banned members are considered to no longer be part of the community, and their reputation is subject to removal. What about users who haven't joined in over a year?
I suggest that feedback left by authors who haven't gotten online MC-Market in over 12 months not be counted in reputation totals.
I suggest that the feedback's text remain, but that the feedback not contribute to the totals. Negatively or positively.
It will serve to keep everyone's reputation scores up to date without forgoing a user's reputation history.
