It does have a threshold, but it's a secret (shhhhh).

When x number of people have voted, it makes a descision. If y-z (where y is  yes votes and z is no votes) is > p then the an offer is made to the author to put it on the front page. x number of people have to vote before the offer is made. The author can decide they don't want their story on the front page, and it won't go there until they say yes.

but it's the time thing that I'm really wondering about. Is there a point after which votes no longer count? I seem to remember there was ... but even if there isn't, if someone doesn't read a diary for a day or two, they may think it's not worth voting anymore. Maybe the box could be hidden if voting is closed ...

2 days.

Maybe the vote box should disappear.
