I'm planning multiple lists ranked by different criteria. For now it will be off the Lists link at the bottom of the page.

The problem is not as urgent as you might think, though. In a site that's growing, you get a de facto karma decay, because a top submission gets more points than it would have 6 months ago.

How about just using the same gravity algorithm to rank people as is used to rank stories. I like keeping absolute points because each point represents a human's input.
