We need a way to keep the main page fresh with newish gripes while giving enough time for top posts to get popular. So in comes some kind of ranking algorithm.

My thoughts are: something like a simple function to determine a "relevance" score.

relevance = arbitraryCoeffecient * sumReactions / (timePosted - timeNow)
