I fail to see how the current system is any better though. It not a perfect solution. I don't think there is a perfect solution and there is no way to have any vote correspond exactly to a posts quality. On the other hand if it where an average of votes then one from long ago with 10 high votes would rank just as well as a recent one with 100 high votes, so actualy it would work better than the current votes.
