Honestly you do have a point that there should be more attention to these parts of hive from the front-ends, similar to how they warn you about your gov votes running out or other things they could place some reminders to check your witness votes and also look at the DHF proposal and then on top of it all make it easier for you to find out what people are up to somehow. Those wanting to stay in the top and wanting to rise the ranks would surely do what it takes to make it easier for voters to figure out what they up to.
