Hi,

Just get an edit rejected for a no vote 5 mins before expiration...
http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=8578160

I don't want to cry here cause my edit was rejected but simply this last
minute vote without comment is bugging me. I wonder if there would be a
solution to avoid losing edit cause of that (although i don't know if
this is common and maybe my edit was wrong)

- force user to enter a comment for a 'no' vote at least if this is the
first no (but i know voters are a rare resource that shouldn't be
discouraged too much... so this one might be a wrong idea)

- delay the expiration by putting a minimum delay after first no/yes
vote (the one which change the default depending on the quality level)
to let the editor react to this vote or get some clarification. at least
a few days... cause in this case i read the mail after the edit was
rejected.

So what do you think? Is this problem a common one? can something be
done to avoid losing edit?

Florent
