We use a www based signup system to avoid some of that. I really do not want people hurry back home from work, looking forward to a raid and then sit out. We put up signups 2-5 days before a raid happens, close the signup at some point of the raid day and then post a final list with the 25 raiding players between 3 and 4 pm (raid starts at 7).
It's still a kinda short notice, but not nearly as bad. It also allows us to sign with need/help, so people that are up for raiding if they are needed but would rather do something else can sign help.
I think this helps a lot to keep people from getting pissed off about not getting raid slots. If you are not on the list but are online and ready to jump in if needed, we award the same dkp that people in the raid get as well.
And if you are on that final list and do not show up, it's slapping time.
