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.
I'm the guy that started the 'code-out' thread. Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I'm sucking up. What a childish view. As for 'flaming', that's pretty much what all these threads have been about, no matter how people have tried to flower them up and put perfume on them.
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).
The system i described that i use is basically what i'm suggesting here, i don't see how it differs? Anyways, like boofo said. We all do things differently. And vb.org is a bit different due to the fact that the staff elected isn't only for moderation purposes.
@ 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?
Indeed, design is subjective. But that's only when they have some level of expertise. And i'm not saying Kerry-Anne has none, but I have seen nothing to indicate she's a good design, whatsoever. And all I have to judge it on is her site which doesn't use a stock skin.
Indeed, there is more to being staff than one role, but you have clearly categorised people into a team, when they would be better off in another.
I'm not sure why they should have to defend their choices at all, since the proof will be in the result. But, as for Kerry-Ann I can only speculate that a design team needs many skills, not just cracker-jack artists. There is css, layout, html, templates, and even some code. Kerry has written hacks and can clearly code and handle css and html/templates.
Again, a team needs to be diverse, not just a bunch of people with the same talents, or even the same level or talent.

The design team designed them.
