How often in reality does an album that has errors get yes votes
within the first 30 minutes?

There's the miniscule possibility people would use this maliciously to
alter a good album add, after it's got a vote, into something that we
don't want going in, but there's another 2 weeks and 2 more voters to
help catch those.

There's a lot of easier ways to make a mess in here, and really,
people don't use them (see any big long discussion we've already had
about the value of trusting people to live up to your good
expectations.)

And maybe we could simply flag album additions that have had edits
passed (or entered) against them, as 'possibly needing a second look'.

The issue you raise already affects album additions though, just the
other direction.  I've voted no to a really messed up album add,
asking for changes to be made, or further information.  That's later
added in other edits, but without a note on the original album add, I
don't know.. and then it fails.
