I agree on raising the 24hr minimum. I just wanted to clarify something. It's not just 10% for a budget to pass.
Quote from wiki: "Budgets are proposals which receive 10% of the possible votes (currently about 350 out of 3500) more yes votes than no votes. "
I think raising the 24hr minimum will do the trick.
A situation I would like to avoid goes like this:
Evan or Otoh proposes a budget 24hr before the superblock.
Even+Otoh vote yes with, lets say conservatively 700 votes.
There is now only 24 hours to get 350 no votes... not counting all the lemmings who will vote yes just because they see it started 700 to 0...
700:350 would pass
1000:650 would pass
There is also less than 24 hours to discuss the issue...
Seems like this situation could be remedied with a longer than 24hr window
Edit: I also do not like Evan's answer that he will monitor the budget to make sure nobody sneaks anything in... What happens if Evan goes on vacation, has a heart attack, or is less trustworthy than you think? I would much rather trust the protocol than, "I promise I'll watch and make sure nothing fishy happens"
