Not to put you down or anything boofo (you know i love you and have no problem with you ). But if you admit to not being as skilled as some of the other coders, then why are you the team leader? Or why aren't some of those people on the team?
Because as I said before, coding skills are just one factor in any Moderations duties involved. There is a lot more to it than just one thing in any area. That is why Kerry-Anne is an excellent choice for her position. She has more drive to help and learn than most of the older Modes here, myself included. She has been invaluable to the org as well as me personally and many others that I know of.
And a good leader will always pick those that are proficient in areas that he or she might not be so good at.
Zachery, I find some of your early posts a little condescending. I think Anthony has a valid point. Certainly some of the members of the newly appointed design team are not what I'd deem good designers. Anyone can pick up a copy of photoshop and add some drop shadows, bevels, strokes and whatnot.
I don't mean to pick on you Kerry-Anne, because I do feel you are a positive addition to the staff, just in the wrong section. However, judging from what I have seen of your work, you are no way near qualified to be put in the design team.
Dean, you haven't seen half of my work as most of it is done on the fly and never released. I'm interested as to what type of designer you think I am, simply to satisfy my own curiosity as I generally don't be too aware of the image that I project.
Sorry, but this is getting old fast. And the people whining are clearly not listening to reason, since I tried that already. So, I'm out of this thread. Have fun.
I'm curious, do you run your forums that way ? are your staff "elected" by members ?
I can tell you that they are not on any site I'm involved with, and I expect it's not the case on 95%+ sites. The sites owners decide who they have on their staff.
The site i currently run is only for premium modifications. However, when i did run general communities, every now and then i would have a poll where i'd choose who i think qualifies and then ask members who they'd like or ask for opinions.

Feel free to show us your real work I'm interested.

Well show us some work then, because as far as I'm concerned, a lot of the new additions are incompetent at their designated roles. You have certainly not proven yourself as a designer within this community.
And just to clarify, I completely disagree with the idea of the senior members nominating new staff

I had a nice post prepared, regarding how you have managed to suck up and boast yourself a great deal in every post you've made so far. However, i do not wish to have a public encounter. Therefore, i took it out. If you wish to direct something at me or anyone else, feel free to do so via pm.
@ Dean - That is your opinion and it is appreciated and welcomed. But there is more to being Staff than "design or coding examples" or anything like that. What looks bad to you might look great to someone else, am I not right?

So no, you don't run your site that way - but even if you did, I stand by my statement that the vast majority do not - vb.org is no different (nor is vb.com).
