so why submit the voting for these 4 features immediately?
Because the voting results would be diffrent with the new voting system and the main reason
bitshares protocol has been completly broken.
Today the voting system and what will come tomorrow if you accept something like that ?
Who is going to hold money in a system where a single person can decide about everything and make your investment worthless with no information,voting or announcement ?
Also what has been done so something like that can't happen again ?
The new voting system is totaly immature and has some features which are dangerous.
Also in my opinion witnesses are not being forced but its basicly their duty to be the keeper that cheats in code can't be added into bitshares.They gurantee the security of bitshares.
Why this happened i think you should know that very clearly, most of developer had leave away BTS as they very disappointed the whole design of management, the whole system was controlled by a group people and cheating the system, especially the vote of collateral, when the vote power of collateral become more and more bigger as the price rising, who can stop them? who can stop them don't cheate the system again and again?
A shareholder made a pledge of stocks to the company, then he used the money to buy the stocks again, make this cycle again and again, so you want give this guy the power to manage this company?
Yes the wittness maintain the security of bitshares, but they should clearly know which is the best for the system, when the the shareholder of bts make a cheating decision like freeze the feed price, they should say no, but they didn't, when the cheating vote like VP of collateral and BAIP voting happend they should say no, the committee should say no, but they didn't.
Why no body ask how many collateral votes were real under the freezed feed price? is this not a cheating for the system? is it not dangerous for the system?
The danger of the fake and leverage VP of collateral is more dangerous than the new voting system.
I think some ideas may come from BM:

Few people will want to give up liquidity for 10 years so they will earn a higher relative yield and more power over the network. More people will be willing to give up liquidity for 3 months, so they will get a lower yield and less power.
