Hi there..
I used to administer a cultural forum where many people used to come and discuss things. As we developed the forum, I formed an administrative council and selected people to come and discuss the ways in which we can bring more users, or any new ideas + moderation of fourms. There, we started having legilslation sessions for the forum to make rules and laws of writing threads blah blah...
After all these things, I suggested introducing a public election in the forum for formation of the administrative council with voting open for all members. Actually, many were against it but I could manage to aprove the idea. Then, we started election forum by forum and I ran also. It was really fun, a whole day for the election and competitions between members. But unfortunately, after the 3rd council formed as a result of an election, we ran into a political crisis :D. I was the chief executive and I closed one of the forums for some reason and that was the begining of the crisis. A hot and big discussion began in the administrative council which resulted in dissolution of the council by the higher manager. Then, we modified the laws and suspended the elections and formed an apointed council with new rules which is now under control :p
It was really a new idea for a forum. After that I saw a similar forum which announced elections for moderators of the forum to be selected by public vote. I wanted to share the idea here and see if anybody else has had such experience? ;)
