Today I cam across a 3 month old post with regards to covers that was very helpful to me but I was unable to thank with a green arrow because the post is older than whatever time limit is used. Would be nice if the time restrictions were removed as helpful posts can be helpful for years.

Second this. I wanted to give bigdaddyhorse a green arrow for his Alligator scans, but I was unable to. 

I'm sorry Big Daddy.

I agree to green arrows without a time limit, but I don't think we need the same for red ones.

Very much agree with this. There have been old posts on a number of occasions that have really helped me out and I wish I could have greened them. So very good idea.

If memory serves, greens normalize over time.  If that's based on the age of the post, a green on a two-year old post will have almost no weight for the stars.  If it's based on when the green was given, all good!

I suspect it's the former since my green list seems to be sorted by post date though it's a good bet that greens would be given in the same order as the post date too.

Good idea, had this problem also sometimes, so I gave you a greeny before it's too late.

It would mean that those who do not post frequently will have a shot at say, the first star...

I realy don't care about the stars but rather if a post I've made gets 1 greeny it means, too me, that I did good.

However, knowing (with my low post frequency) that I will probably never get a shot at a star, feels a little unjust. So, yea, it would be a little more fun to help out!

On the giving end, I agree with that which is already said.
