For these issues (and ONLY these), we're looking for submissions to be done differently. Please draft/post your issue in a thread in the Got Issues forum, so that the mods and Issues Editors can give feedback to ensure the issue suits our needs. Use [@DRAFT@] as part of your title, to distinguish it from other Got Issues posts. Once you are happy with your issue, please post in this thread with a link to the thread for your issue.
Once we find a submission we like, we will update this sticky to remove it from the list, and to let others know that they don't need to work on it. We will then get the Issues Editors to tidy it up, Game Mods to add the stats, and it'll be entered into the game.
However, that doesn't mean you should rush - while we would like to add these issues to the game fairly soon, we want good issues to work on. We will only select issues that are good enough - we will not be compromising on quality, so being "first in" is not an advantage.
If you have questions about this process, or about the nature of any of the issues needed, ask here.
Edit: This is important enough to include in the OP:

What we're looking for is issues that address a national problem which has, as one of several potential outcomes, the ability to reverse the prior issue. You can't start out with the premise that "people are upset over the banning of <thing>." They aren't, I promise you. You had complete public support when you banned it or made it compulsory. What we need now are social, political, economic, or other reasons why somebody needs to reopen this issue.
As you know, NS issues tend to have unexpected or irritating side effects. You need to find some of those for these issues. Once you examine your premise, you may realize that the annoying side effect is actually a better issue base, and the ban/unban effect can be a nice sideline.
Since we're bypassing the issue queue on these, you'll need to include [stat]s with every issue. At least one option needs the [stat] that reverses the prior effect. If it turns up in two, that's fine too, but there also has to be an option to ignore the request. As to the other stats, be creative. We want the issue to do more than just reverse the prior decision.
Write a broader issue, and we (the new Issue Editors and mods) will try to help you with it. That's the best advice I can offer.
