Is your proposal related to a problem?
The controversial sort currently shows most controversial posts from all time, meaning the posts shown can be many months old. This makes it almost useless for discovering interesting content. It would be better to limit it to controversial posts from the last week or so.
Just to clarify, would a separate feature request be to add configurable time limits for Controversial similar to the Top sort, or should that be integrated into this task?
FWIW, for posts in Reddit you can sort "Controversial" by the same time periods as "Top".
At very least, it might be worth considering renaming the sort to ControversialWeek (or even just adding as a new controversial sort).
