Progressive pain, but only until 0 otherwise it's unfair. Maybe something less aggressive, but I like the idea of being punished more for 2 days than just 2 points. Skipping a day should be a slap on the wrist, 2 days is no, 3 days should be a big no-no and so on.
Otherwise someone like @pugson could take 8 whole days off and not drop a single spot in the rankings.
Maybe look up game design? I'm sure this is something game designers have solved already.
What? No that wouldn't work haha. Then you'd end up with a negative streak. (E.g. day 4 your streak is 4, and it drops by 8, you end up with -4).

There goes my 8 days off! Thanks, Swizec.
This will be great! For people high on streaks count, would -1 be discouraging enough? Maybe it should be -1%?
Just reset to 0, problem solved! I like this multiplier idea.
