Change 24 hour time checks to "once per day"

Right now servers can be bumped and voted on once every 24 hours. I suggest changing it to a once a day. Basically instead of waiting 24 hours to bump or vote  you can do it at anytime once a day. So for a example, once at 11pm and again the next day at 1am.

Changed it to vote once per day instead of every 24 hours a while back.

This issue is very important to the server's functionality, but nothing has been done about it, despite it being talked about for years now!

If anyone is confused about the issue, PMC currently measures voting and bumping times as "once every 24 hours", but instead it should be once every calendar day. That way, a user can vote once at any time on the 1st day, once any time on the 2nd day, once any time on the 3rd day, etc. Instead of voting at 6pm on the 1st day and having to wait until after 6pm on the 2nd day to vote again. It would be infinitely more convenient for voters.

To combat abuse, I propose:
  • There additionally be a 4-hour wait period, so someone cannot vote or bump at 11:59pm and again at 12:01am.
  • Calendar days are based on a user's set time zone, and the time zone can only be changed once every, say, two months.

(I finished typing this then realized this ticket also applied to server bumps so just know that vote can be replaced with bump)

I was interested if anyone ever brought this up so I went searching and found this. I am very disappointed there is no conclusion to this ticket after a full year. I was honestly hoping to see a good reason for keeping this system (one vote every 86,400 seconds) because I could not think of one. Almost every vote site I have voted on and had my previous server vote on used this system or at least had a 30 min. grace period (one vote every 23 hours 30 min.)
From what this thicket has shown we have a simple pro/con as follows:
Pros: People don't continually get forced to vote later and later in the day. Still only gets 1 vote per day
Cons: Possible abuse

The only abuse that could occur is if pmc made the "day" defined by the client and not by the server. If you define the day as 00:00:00 EST - 23:59:59 EST there are no cons to switching to this system and it baffles me that perhaps the most popular minecraft voting site still hasn't changed to this system.
All in all, pmc should change to 1 vote per account from 00:00:00 EST - 23:59:59 EST (aka a calendar day) or close this ticket with a valid retort on why the current system is better so everyone like me can have some closure as to why this system is still being used.

Since I suggested same thing and was noted as duplicate, I'll just drop it here:

This is annoying, that I have remember last time, when I voted previously.
Because of this I vote every 2 days usually - I don't bother coming back to vote later.
MC voting website: http://minecraftservers.org allows us to vote every day after midnight.

Still wondering what you will use to define the "day".
