Maximilyen - based on your writings here (and you pics), you are anything BUT a hayseed!
"if they actually listen and care about this site" - ah....there it is. But do they care? Or are they just arrogant bumpkins who refuse to budge on anything because of misplaced pride and sense of superiority? Having a woman suggest anything here would especially fall on deaf ears since their view of them here certainly leaves a lot to be desired, at least based on what I have read so far.
Change is hard and it can be scary. But it takes way bigger balls to change than to sit on your laurels, fat dumb and clueless.
I hope you are right about this site, but I have my doubts. The few encounters that I have had here with mod's were fairly unpleasant & unprofessional. Let's hope they get their collective shit together and turn things around for the betterment of everyone.

It's a thankless volunteer job, even if some appear to take advantage.
This was a great site and I loved the interaction in the forums, but then something happened and it just got extremely uncomfortable. If it was that way for me, I know it was/is for other ladies, and to be honest, what lady wishes to come on here and interact with a bunch of women haters who were not being moderated and allowed to literally run women into the ground.
I have to leave for weeks at a time and dread when I know I must come back. I actually have a good reputation, have never caused a client an issue, yet you would have thought I was outing gents, robbing them blind, and in general just some raunchy b*tch who had no legitimate thought whatsoever. Oh, and apparently, I'm some kind of man hater...LOL I have taken lots of hits helping others out, but got lotsa kicks for my efforts, even from the ladies. Not sure if it was because they needed the biz or what....craziness.
This time, the haters have backed off a bit, and I am grateful for that. Hopefully, they have backed off of other ladies as well. I always hope for the best and try to see things in a positive light, but good golly, it's been a rough go the past couple of years.
I love change, as most change is for the better and usually improves situations for all concerned. I kind of hope the PTB see it that way as well.
Hope....now that's something no one can ever take from me.
I am not going to comment a lot on the management/owners here, largely because I do not know them--but the picture one gets from the visible pieces is the rules/policies are definitely slanted towards the guys in most cases. A number of the "old heads" will still occasionally bemoan that women should be seen, ogled at, and not post except for the ads.
But before the praise of TER gets too over-the-top, realize that site is there as a business first and foremost, and it is more antiseptic in many ways. The men and ladies probably are treated more similar--but that doesn't always mean better. And the original ownership there was completely corrupt in every way you can imagine. This is not the place to digress, but over a cup of coffee or a beer some day, some true stories to make your skin crawl.....
