Chalk up another vote for 24 hours. That gives complete equality to all curators in all time zones.
The only think better would be no window at all. What difference does it make when I discover something to vote for?

The problem is that a post that is 6 days old will get a massive vote on it and no one will see it. it happens already, but I think without the penalty, it gets worse as there won't even be frontrunners.
I will also add - that perhaps we shouldn't care that much about abuse - as we tend to get caught up in it. However, it will be a problem if ignored.
I'd guess because I've always had a small stake, and the value of it not my primary concern, I've never understood 'defensive curation' or 'roi curation' either one.
How is the 6 day old post getting a massive vote harmful? I'm actually fairly irritated that my writing is completely deceased after 7 days. Nobody can come along later and 'like' my stuff.
Who is harmed?
The 7 day window is down to computational power I think. However, there are ways around it possible in the future, where the window keeps opening. I have mentioned this to Khal from Leo and he might try it at some point.
The 6 day old post getting a large vote isn't harmful - unless it is like Sweetsssj accounts that get voted on, no one sees or read, no one comments on, no one cares - yet she is still getting paid on it. When it is that old, it doesn't usually hit trending, as there is something else on the day higher. This means, no one is paying attention, while currently there would at least usually be frontrunners who syphon some of the curation from her so she doesn't get 100% of her vote.
I don't even monitor her now, as it seems know one cares at all for some reason.
Sort of like self voting with an alt account? Nothing is actually harmed, but it just smells bad?
I'd think sooner or later that problem would tend to be self correcting. Irrelevant is a powerful tool.
Just for the record, I've never hit trending. I'll bet I haven't been there more than three times on Hive and two of those were accidental clicks.
Depends how large the stake is. When there is 1M HP behind it and it is doing it literally 10x a day, 7 days a week for years on end - it isn't great.
I don't visit Trending for content, more for research :) Though, it would be lucky to see me once a week.
With @themarkymark tossing in his hat, we are gonna see what abuse would have been without him.
