I don't think adding a date/timestamp on votes is necessary.
We implemented the public announcement of when a motion will pass/fail once a motion gathers (or doesn't) enough votes to pass, so FTers don't continue to argue for/against something if a decision has been made.
The list of who voted yes/no/abstain is made public when all votes are in or the 2 week voting period ends, whichever happens first.
Even if a vote goes the full two weeks, to paraphrase a comment either in this or another thread, this isn't Congress/the United Nations. The FT world will not come to an end.
Adding a date/timestamp to potentially embarrass a TB member(s) who votes too quickly or waits until the end doesn't really serve FT IMO.
Cheers.
