A few things to keep in mind: 1) Most of the admins and all of the mods were members here long before "coming into power." 2) Most of the TOS rules were put into place due to member requests and complaints. Only a few are business decisions. (The rule about no linking to adult sites was a business decision because the owners of the site decided those links went against the direction the site owners wanted for Rendie.) 3) This is a privately owned site. Yes, it is partially paid for by members purchasing products, but ultimiately it is a private site and the owners can do as they please. I know they try very hard to follow the members' wishes as much as possible while keeping the site viable. 4) If you have specific suggestions for modifying the TOS, it works best if you post those suggestions instead of generically asking for a plebiscite. What areas do you think need a site member vote? Deciding who will administrate the site? Who will be mods in the forums? What threads get locked? Who gets a warning or a time out for rude behavior? Think of the time involved in getting everyone to participate, setting a time frame for everyone to lodge a vote, etc. For many areas, it's simply not viable. Again, give concrete suggestions on what could be improved and your ideas will be looked at. If they're workable and would improve the site, they'll be implemented. We're always looking for ways to make this site better. Cheers!
