OK, I still don't get what's broken, despite NG's post. I can understand if this is a simple conversation about increasing the ranks, but I think it's fair to say that we're all well past that, and I think that one issue has been a minor part of the discussion anyway.

As far as the mood goes, what mood? There's some collective mood around here? The other day when Shani was ready to kill anyone who crossed her path, I was fine. There's no mention of impending doom that I've noticed. The only time I've ever been "moderated" was when I told a noob to basically look something up themselves, and I deserved it. Maybe I'm not reading the threads where all the personal attacks are going on, but even over in Politics things generally stay fairly civil (most of the time). Even over there, a gentle reminder to "relax" usually calms things down fairly quickly. So again, where's the problem? It seems more like real life to me than any pervasive problem with moderation or lack there of.

As far as any "edge" goes, I think a definition is in order or at least a description of the types of threads that someone feels are lacking.

Edit: for the record, my singling out of Shani was only the first example that came to mind. Normally she's quite nicer than I am.
