I'd like to see time allotted for turns take a hint from chess.
The specifics of FIDE time needn't apply, but the basic idea that you have a fixed amount of time to work with + time for each move.

Example: you get 72 hours before you time out + 24 hours per move, *non-accruing* (unlike chess).
What that means is that you can take 4 days (96 hours) to play a move *once* (hey, stuff happens to everyone). But you can't take 4 days for each move!

I can think of more sophisticate ways of doing this (e.g. less time per move, but some of it accrues, some of it doesn't), but I think something that forces rapid(er) play while allowing for the occasional lapse would be more reasonable.
