Since this platform is so technical in nature, it will be hard for everyone to understand all of this, myself included.  I will have to re-read this tonight and tomorrow. I grasped the larger concepts of change, but I am trying to still understand the current self-vote scenario vs. the future.  I was thinking that it was advantageous to wait for 30 minutes to self-vote.  Are you saying that the current system makes it advantageous to self vote before 30 minutes and now it will still be advantageous to self vote, but before 15 minutes? I've been doing the polar opposite and waiting 30 minutes or more if I self-vote my post currently.
