LRC get a bad rep for a number of reasons but of course it's relative.
I don't think the site has a bad rep. I think it perfectly ok. If I was talking to a stranger and the subject of LRC came up, I would defend the site. I might say 'well it 'aint perfect but I enjoy visiting the site and you can't say it's a terrible place because it brings many people satisfaction and is enjoyed by them'
The only way to solve the sites issues, in my mind would be mandatory reg. with user identification verified. So you have to provide photo ID, proof you are who you say you are.
That would change the site big time. LRC probably will not do this and I will still come here and enjoy the site.
Bottom line is I am 100% OK visiting this website and do not care too muh about what others may think about LRC. I acknowledge they may have valid points but that won't stop me from visiting the site I enjoy. Maybe the same people who speak ill of LRC associate with people I would not care for or engage in activities that are not moral as I would see them, but I stay out of there business and do not interfere in their lives.
LRC is 100% an OK website for those who enjoy it and there is 100% nothing wrong with LRC.
LRC IS 100% GOLDEN, it's all a matter of perception!
