Martin my only disquaification outside of multiple voters was capt Riker who everybody knows and loves for his down to earth personality,
And a moderator is an unpaid jobsworth who spies and plays God ?,much like a waiter who gets a set of keys instead of a payrise ,straps them to his belt and ponces about at busy times.
As for staff not being staff ,well I can see why V3 has baffled us mere mortals if that 'doublespeak'explaination is the bedrock of V3 design
V2 is waaaayy better 
I prefer V2.
For me, V3 looks better but V2 is faster.

It's not doublespeak. In v3, staff are labeled as staff and moderators are labeled as moderators. Only v2 shows something different.
But whatever floats your boat.
and moderators are not labelled as anything
Yes, they are. Blue pawn icon. Staff are green pawn icons.
i do not like the new web page
He used to be a mod and stopped for a while. Don't know current status.
ok ,cheers Martin ,hes still pretending to be one ,and Martin ,whats your status ,you seem too intelligent to be a dogsbody/whipping boy
Haha. You're a classy fellow.
I'm a member of 7+ years that enjoys the site, likes to help people, and contribute. Got a premium membership shortly after joining.
v3 is the second major revision of the site I have been through, with all the minor updates along the way. While I haven't liked every change, and voiced my opinion on things I didn't like, none of the changes have taken away from my ability to use the site in a productive manner (excluding bugs that normally are fixed quickly). This update is no different and I have been on v3 for over a year, going to v2 for only two very specific things.
going to v2 for peace of mind v3 is like a chinese puzzle for me,it just dosen,t make sense to me ,the layout is really difficult to fond where you want to go ,Navgation icons like v2 are tiny as is the v3 messaging post page .The post itself is fine but typing it is hard work
Give that man a cookie. 
Got sick and tired of people trying to censor my input based on some perceived ruleset they thought should be followed, so I decided I would rather be seen as a normal member, which I am and always have been, without all that baggage.
As I have said previously, I am a member, first and foremost, and my account reflects that. My postings haven't changed since I started on the site and haven't changed now.
Beyond that, I don't really care to discuss it.
this long debate has morphed into a chess game ,with red herrings left ,right and centre ,Even our opponents are wearing disguises .If you want to spot a spook ,check to see if they are a member of chess.com V3 group ,thats their admin intelligence HQ ,
your a astute stand up guy nimzo but your no clairvoyant.:-)
