Great proposals and points for discussion. After almost 9 months of blogging, curating and commenting almost daily (without bots) I've understood some things for the first time.
As you stated in point 4 the idea of waiting 30 minutes to vote is unrealistic and counter-productive.

Thanks. I'm glad I could help.
And yes - waiting around to vote isn't fun, especially when you forget to vote on something or when a whale beats you to the punch because you were waiting for just a minute too long.
