thank you very much, I need to look deeper into it
I'm struggling hard to survive
so I'm not up to date with everything
especially the times when I have nearly no internet connection
how does it punish bots? they can just auto-vote instantly
punishment the first 5-15min seemed more reasonable?
dunno, need to look deeper into it
Bots never sleep, so with the 5 minute window real people were at a disadvantage to get the first vote in, now that doesn't make a difference until after the first 24 hours.
This evens out the field, bots have no advantage to vote early.
