Dec 4, 2014 at 9:05 comment added Włodzimierz Holsztyński I used in the past and am fond of weighted averages but here I would not exaggerate. I prefer simplicity and the directness (of the meaning of the periodic scores). This would be my preference. Anyway, a high score will vanish in the $7d$-window but will last longer in the $30d$-window, etc. I wanted things smoother, not smooth :-)
Dec 4, 2014 at 8:03 comment added Joonas Ilmavirta If the scores should vary smoothly, I find a sliding time window too abrupt. If I wrote a great answer and got a lot of points on the same day, my sliding window score will suddenly fall when the window passes. A sudden rise on the day of answering sounds perfectly fine but the sudden fall is less desirable. I would prefer a weighted sum of daily points over the last $n$ days where the weight goes nicely to zero as day goes to $\text{today}-n$. Perhaps exponential decay with different decay parameters would give a nice collection of slowly varying scores with different time scales.
