I'll quote the only part of the original proposal that was rendered in bold typeface:

just for one day

    Oops,Sorry.....I'm a natural "spin doctor", always blowing things out of proportion to suit my position....it's the American way! :-)

    But if the topic is to be taken seriously, why limit the carryover to one day? Maybe the carryover should be 2 days over weekends, etc. Or maybe go from login to login; I'm sure there are many monks who login once a week, and look at nodes for the past 5 days.

    But I now launch my campaign to subtract carryovers......this encourages logging in and voting( although may encourage frivilous voting).

      "Maybe the carryover should be 2 days over weekends"

      I think this idea has merit.

      This would allow votes to be carried forward from Saturday or Sunday when very occasionally there are insufficient nodes of merit to vote on.

        Yes, I like this idea too.
