Do you have a suggestion?

Not at present, no. There are many acceptable possibilities, but none that presently exist as far as I am aware.

I guess the only option left is doing something myself.

Thought has crossed my mine once or twice, but its a complex affair.

Lets use an example.

Say you just make another /pol/ board on this site.

It will never be 'real' /pol/ - thats one of the narratives that will be used to attack it, at least.

Then you'll have shilling, specifically from the kind of people who have taken over THIS board (aka board and site admins, and those they've been debauched by), which you'll have to contend with which will require regular moderation. Any moderator activities which can potentially be viewed as untoward will be mercilessly harped upon by the same people doing the aforementioned shilling, and use of VPNs will further the appearance of consensus perspective as to your board being shit.

Overt banning will be used to tattle on you to the site admins.

Not to dissuade you, mind you, just to give you an idea of what you'll be up against. I had considered the prospect myself a time or two, but my schedule simply wouldn't allow me to be regularly engaged in the kind of moderation a board like that would need, nor to spend the time getting to know people sufficiently to trust them as moderators on such a board.
