| Aug 2, 2015 at 4:18 | comment | added | Nathan Tuggy | @RyneEverett: The rough sketch of the general algorithm seemed vague enough to me to be satisfied by the solid statistics of Wilson, but you're right that it does suggest using age specifically. | |

@NathanTuggy Are you sure about that? I think PearsonArtPhoto is suggesting an implementation that uses age directly as part of the calculation. E.g., rankscore=(upvotes-downvotes)/age.
