What is “Ragequit Delay”?
The period of time after a vote passes before the vote can be executed.
For instance, if there is a Ragequit Delay of 24 hours and a vote passes at 11:00 am on Monday, it cannot be executed until 11:00 am Tuesday.
An important factor of Ragequit Delay is that the people who vote yes on a proposal have their tokens locked until the end of the execution delay.
Ragequit*
In Dandelion Voting Instances, and it gives people time to exit our TE Commons if they disagree with a decision to change parameters, before the Parameters are changed. Specific to Dandelion Voting this parameter is also referred to as the *"Ragequit Delay".
For instance, if a Dandelion Voting instance is used to vote to convert all the TEC Hatch DAO’s xDai to HNY, people may want to Ragequit before the proposal is executed. But the people that voted to convert the xDai to HNY would not be able to Ragequit, because their tokens would be locked until the Vote is executed.
Disputable Voting
In Disputable Voting there is no “Ragequit” Mechanism. This is because with the launch of the Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC) participants can leave at any point and tokens will be redeemed based on the “Sell Curve” of the ABC.
So what do we need to talk about in this post?
Why is this important? In the case of Disputable Voting should there be a delay even if the outcome cannot be changed? What information should we use to decide the Ragequit Delay?

Relating to choosing parameters:
Implications & Parameter Options
The Ragequit Delay is measured in hours, and you will have the option to set this parameter between 0 and ∞.
The Ragequit delay is important because we want to give token holders enough time to evaluate the implications of a proposal, and to decide whether or not they want to maintain their financial position within the DAO, or to exercise their Ragequit capabilities.
Suggested Range
Since the Ragequit Delay is important for Community Backers, we suggest a range of 1-6 hours for this parameter.
Related Parameters to consider when defining the Ragequit Delay (hours):
Vote Duration (days)
Vote Proposal Buffer (hours)

In the Context of the Hatch DAO
Certain parameters will affect how Ragequitting is handled in the process of the Hatch.
Notably Hatch Tribute (%), Impact Hour Rate and Target/Min Goal in the case of the Backer’s Rage Quit (%).
Backer’s Rage Quit is the percentage of a Backer’s original donation that they will be reimbursed in the event that they decide to Rage Quit during the Hatch process. By setting a higher Hatch Tribute or Impact Hour Rate you’re decreasing the Backer’s Rage Quit percent. Alternatively, by lowering the Hatch Tribute and/or Impact Hour Rate and/or Increasing your Minimum or Target Goal you can increase the Backer’s Rage Quit percent.
