If it is necessary to treat certain controversial sock prone AFDs this way then a policy needs to be adopted covering it, who can invoke "special rules", under what circumstances, and what qualifies an account to "vote" when the rule is invoked. This is so it doesn't look like the nominator is pulling rules out of his ass. If I am not mistaken, users have been warned in the past about making up their own policies. As for how such a rule would be phrased, I don't like the use of "edit counts". In the case of the INA AFD, my vote would have been ruled out even though I am nobody's sock and have been around since 2005. A better idea would be to disallow "votes" from accounts less then 15 days old which should cover the length of an AFD plus a relisting. That is, if it must be done at all.
