take away the penalty and selfvoting will increase. Take away the window completely and the late selfvotes will increase. No matter what changes are made, assume that people are going to try to scam it to maximize themselves, even if it ends up costing them long term.
I know, it´s a tricky issue. But I would still give a shot to flat curation and no window, meaning the only factor influencing the curation rewards of the users would be the size of their stake. That would allow them to curate (other people´s stuff) honestly without having to worry about losing out on rewards. Those last minute (last day) selfvoters could be a problem but we have free downvotes to fight any form of abuse. I know it would be difficult to downvote such a post but you can still downvote the next one as a kind of a retrospective punishment :)
It was previously a flat curation curve from where went to non-flat curve. Simple change would be increasing the window and testing out how it works, than discussing a big change like change the whole curve. Let's give non-linear curve some variability and see may be it will perform well.
There are some things that are very much predictable, but it depends on how you look at it. There are plenty of attempts at different things over the last almost 5 years to learn from.
One of the things I plan on trying to solve. We need people using their downvotes more, I know anon downvotes would change that overnight as many fear retaliation, but that isn't easy on a transparent blockchain. A lot of Hive's issues could be solved and we could try much more "risky" approaches in terms of finding innovative cutting edge solutions to issues around PoB, if people simply did more negative curation. There must be balance. I'm confident there is a solution out there somewhere, just have to discover/invent it.

You know how many people downvote on Hive?
I know but still would give this new concept a shot... You never know how new things turn out here on the chain until you try them.

You can't make everyone happy at same time. :)
