I thought I'd post the idea here instead of in the staff sections, just because.
This idea MAY sound a LITTLE childish and immature but I figure it's worth a try, especially after taking my Political Science class this semester. So here's my game plan: (literally, it's a game/role-playing)
Basically, we introduce a Politics section or sub-section onto IslamicBoard. Not only would we discuss politics, but also form our own IB "Government" where we could do one or two or both of the following:
1. To pass/reject/modify IslamicBoard rules (such as the post counts for entering the gender appropriate rooms, introducing/removing new forums, etc etc). We'd also first have a vote on whether we require a 2/3 majority vote or a simple majority vote in order to pass these rules.
2. In addition to the above, we can also have a real government role-playing Democratic thing where we'd also bring in OTHER topics to the table such as globalization, restricting it or even... well, anything political! It'd be our own system, more like assessing the Muslim community and their views. It could work as a research project as well.
This idea is really exciting for me, but it's up to you guys to vote in or out. Not EVERYONE has to join into this. It's just another optional addition onto the forum.
It's fun, educational, and political. It's time we be aware of our surroundings, and this is a great way to learn. Who said Muslims can't be in congress or parliament? At least speaking for us Americans, we have a lot of freedom and rights, Alhamdulillah.
i think its a wonderful idea mashallah
Would their be like IB political parties?...and like mini campaigns or something?
oh if so maybe you can make like a new group in the group section for each political party so it would be like thier "homepage" or personal discussion area
"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why we call it 'The Present'."

But if the idea is passed, then we can work on the details. I don't want to make plans and then have someone like AabiruSabeel stomping on it.
uggggggggghhhhh.. if you want to introduce something worthwhile to LI, bring a live scholar every friday or whatever day to take our difficult questions.
how will this political section be different from 'world's affairs'
Text without context is pretext If your opponent is of choleric temperament, seek to irritate him

It'll be more of a role playing thing. The difference is quite obvious, really. :-x
For the older members it may not feel like an interesting idea but for the younger members(Rashad and myself being one) it is interesting idea to bring to a forum.
Forum rules, maintenance and moderation is for those already assigned the responsibility. Other suggestions and feedback can be added to this section; as the title "Forum Help & Feedback" suggests quite obviously. This cancel's out the need for extra sections.
