I think a general "score decay" function might be more useful. For instance, the scores could decay by 5% every time you read the score file. Or something like that -- I'm sure somebody could come up with a nice function that would prohibit scores from reaching infinity while still letting "good" articles get a higher score than "bad" ones. -- "Yes.
