I want to see what people think of an idea to throttle approval of delegates.  The point is to allay fears that some entity accumulates a large secret stake and then quickly votes in otherwise unknown delegates before anyone has time to react.   Throttling could allow time to publicly demand an explanation if unknown delegates start getting huge support.  It would give time to "get out the vote" to coalesce around more well known delegates so the offending delegates don't get in or even prepare to consider the extreme measure of hard forking out stake if no one knows why these delegates have any support.  Basically there is no restriction on a delegate losing approval but a delegate can't gain more than X% approval in a 24 hr period or similar rule.  Kind of like the idea that trust takes time to gain but is quick to lose.
