This page in a nutshell: If admins make a point of explaining which votes counted and which were not and the reasons for it, AFD participants will learn to make better arguments in AFDs |

To combat this, we agree to work to educate users in the AFD process of best practise by:
A) always explaining which votes have been counted and which have been discarded in our AFD closes &
B) always providing direction when we relist a discussion as to why the discussion was relisted and what kind of input is needed to reach a consensus.
