It feels like there might be a connection between the length of this informal voting moratorium (where players feel they shouldn’t vote on any non-trivial proposal within the first six hours in case somebody else spots a problem with it) and general blog silence with proposals timing out.
In a lot of ways six hours seems far too long to be useful as the last chance for a proposer to check back and apply fixes - if someone posts a proposal in the afternoon, they’ll likely be offline at the six-hour point. Similarly, if a voter sees a new proposal arrive in their afternoon, there’s a strong social pressure for them to save their vote until the next day (and remember which proposals they need to do this for).
Let’s try two hours.
