That would require presumably automatic distinguishing between "spiteful" and "non-spiteful" :-/
A very simple solution is to follow Reddit and block any kind of voting on old (="archived") content.
LOL. Would you like to apply this generally, e.g. as in "The principle of Rule of Law is a bad idea because it's an invitation to gaming the laws. Much better to have a tyrant...err... benevolent philosopher-king decide matters because it's harder to game him".
"Spiteful" was vague. "Mass down-voting" (I assume it to be spiteful) would be better.
How fast does reddit archive content? Given my druthers, I'd permit upvoting on old content-- we don't seem to have a big problem with it being abused.
That's still not a technical definition.
I don't like introducing asymmetries into voting. That "so what is your affirmative answer?" slope is quite slippery.
Reddit archives threads after six months. At that point, you can't comment or vote, but you can edit and delete your own comments.
