Lowering Democracy Pallet's Settings

[Nolan730]

We are having some problems due to high launch/execute times. We need to lower those settings to solve this problem. I didnt include numbers since we should talk about suitable numbers

Also @takemiyamakoto mentioned about these problems at telegram. Lowering these settings can solve them

The long times are a feature, not a bug. We need ample time for review in case unknown people submit proposals.

I totally agree. I dont suggest to make it 1-2 days. I think 7 days of launch period, 7 days voting and 1 days of executing time is plenty. If we have an option to stop community members from proposing some functions like minting/runtime update, there wont be a spam.

Shorter timeframes (although not so short as to be open to manipulation) would be great, if feasible, as it would most likely result in higher engagement/participation from the community. People probably lose awareness about proposals that sit for weeks on end without being acted on. Not sure how practical making such changes would be though, with regard to resources.

I would like to offer these settings: (if i miss a setting, let me know)
Launch time period: 3 days
Voting period: 6 days
Execution time: 1 days

We will be able to process 1 proposal per 3 day, have enough time(6 days) for voting and enough time(1 days) for emergency cancellation by techcomitte. Also we will get rid of the less important proposals and lower the queue at council/techcomitte votings. Currently we have 5 voting at queue(one was in council since 3-4 days) and processing very slowly. I suggest we make these changes immediately.
