No-Eliminate D1: A bad move?

[Toon Fighter]

Hi, I've played mafia on other sites and forums, and in one of them the consensus seems to be that the best play D1 is to no-lynch and just wait for the night. I always try to shake up some discussion during that day, but, town and mafia both usually vote for a no-lynch, with the result of a wasted day, and everyone's time. My question is:

1) Why is No-lynch during D1 a bad move?
2) How do I convince a town that it is a bad move?
3) If the town's mentality doesn't change, how can I (as a player) take advantage of it?
4) If the town's mentality doesn't change, how can I (as a mod) take advantage of it/change the rules to modify the player's mentality/design the game around the fact that D1 will likely have a no-lynch?

I'd appreciate any answers. Thank you for your input!
