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.

Dreadful idea. There's no way to close an AfD like this to everybody's satisfaction. I'd rather the thing that pisses people off be a well-reasoned human than an arbitrary set of rules.
