As requested by Joseph. let's say that the answer to the title question is "yes" if this post reaches at least 30 upvotes in one month's time.
Recently:
- three top users left this site
- another top user was suspended (in my opinion, the past behavior of the people involved was not carefully taken into account in this circumstance, as far as I can judge with the little info available)
- in general, I feel that touchiness and rudeness are growing (a couple of episodes make me think that).
I believe there is a problem.
Now we have only three mods, all of them are European.
One of them is English and the other two are German, that is, all of them are Anglo-Saxon speakers.
To cover all the time zones, I think we need, at least:
- an American (better if South American, see below)
- an Asian
- a person from Oceania.
And to better understand misunderstandings created by language barriers, we should also have:
- an African
- a South American.
How do the mod elections work? Can we have more than three mods?
